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.
