自明、清之際，工書者，河北以王鐸、傅山為冠，繼則江左王鴻緒、姜宸英、何焯、汪士鋐、張照等，接踵而起，多見他傳。 From the Ming-Qing transition onward, the leading calligraphers of Hebei were Wang Duo and Fu Shan; in the lower Yangtze region Wang Hongxu, Jiang Chenying, He Chao, Wang Shihong, Zhang Zhao, and others followed in quick succession—most of whom are treated in other biographies.

用錫鄉舉出姜宸英之門，與何焯同為光地客，論書多與二家相出入。 Yongxi had passed the provincial examination under Jiang Chenying; he and He Chao were both protégés of Li Guangdi, and his views on calligraphy largely aligned with, yet sometimes diverged from, those two masters.
