‘Gongdu’ is the style name of Feng Shu (1867-1948), an
important book collector, art collector and calligrapher active
during the late Qing dynasty to the Republic
period. He first started as a scholar-official
during the Guangxu reign. During the
Republic era, he devoted himself to the
preservation of Chinese cultural artefacts, most
importantly the well-known Mao Gong Ding
(bronze ding of Mao) now in the National
Palace Museum. It is known that he sold a
number of his family possessions in order to
prevent the Mao Gong Ding from being sold to
overseas dealers.

‘Mr. Yizhai’ refers to Che Yonghong (1833-
1914), an important martial arts master from
Jiajiabao in Shanxi province, active during the
late Qing period.
