Did You Know?

Liang Qichao aimed to reform the country and strengthen its foundations through the revival of the ancient culture of China.

Description

The prominent politician and modern reformer Liang Qichao writes here in an angular, firm, and little modulated regular script style, inspired by inscriptions incised on ancient stone steles. Those script styles were popular among reformers of the time, as they sought to revive the ancient culture and built a new China on the country’s strong ancient foundations. Each scroll cites the verse of a historic cultural figure in Chinese history.
