Yi Bingshou (1754-1815), an epigraphist of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), was adept at painting and calligraphy. In 1803, he inscribed on a semicircle ink slab with clerical scripts to express his positive attitudes toward life. In 1850, his son Yi Nianzeng (1790-1861) gave the ink slab as a gift to encourage his grandson to study hard. This family heirloom is now in the collection of the Shanghai Museum, preserving exquisite Chinese calligraphy. Check it out!
