Abstract

Zhao Zhiqian (1829-1884) devoted his whole life to obtaining merit and fame and serving the imperial court, who always regarded merit and fame and helping the world as his foundation. However, his career was bumpy and forced him to make a living, so he embarked on the road of donating art for an official position. His seal cutting stood out from his numerous artistic achievements. He integrated Zhejiang and Anhui schools, the ancient and the present style, and became a generation of masters. His calligraphy was all skilled and refined in regular script, official script, seal script and running hand, and his painting could be regarded as the pioneer of Shanghai school in the south and had a great influence on Chen Shizeng and Qi Baishi in the north as well. He is versatile and could be called the all-around champion in the history of Chinese calligraphy, painting and seal cutting art.
