Tie Bao (1752-1824), also known as Yeting
(courtesy name) and Mei’an (sobriquet), was a
member of the Plain Yellow Banner (正黃旗) and
a senior Imperial scholar who served at court for
over fifty years. He was a prolific poet and an
accomplished calligrapher. Tie Bao, Liu Yong (1719-
1805), Weng Fanggang (1733-1818), and Prince
Cheng (1752-1823) were recognised as the most
important four masters of calligraphy in the mid Qing
dynasty. For more information about Tie Bao, see
