NOTE:
Tang Tuo, formerly Chenglie, styled as Ziquan, Quren, was a well-known calligrapher in modern China. A native of Wujin, Jiangsu, Tang Tuo was highly proficient in plaque-writing, particularly known for his “Tang Style” at the time. He devoted himself to printing techniques and publishing in his middle age and studied in Japan for three years to learn about advanced printing technologies. In 1912, Tang Tuo joined the Chung Hwa Book Company and served as the deputy director of the printing house until 1935.
