About the creator

Jin Nong was highly knowledgeable on Chinese calligraphy. His calligraphy was the best among the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. Especially his clerical script and semi-cursive script, his works have unique and ingenious aesthetics. After the age of 50, he began to deviate from the norm and used his calligraphic knowledge to create the Flat Brush script. Jin Nong used a special ink that he made by himself, and he also used a special brush for the Flat Brush script.^[1]
