Character Yuanliang, number Oak Garden, and tao'an, minus jai, 缄斋, suitable garden, Mr. Oak Xia and other aliases, Henan Kaifeng people, moved to Nanjing, Qing Dynasty seal engraving, collector. Its collection of books, calligraphy and paintings, stone, ancient ink, bronze is very rich, especially like to collect seals, self-proclaimed: "Life loves this, is nothing less than the love of the Nangong." "The people I interact with are all famous seal engravers, and they are invited to engrave seals everywhere, as many as a thousand buttons." When the interest is high, I also make my own seal.
Zhou Lianggong was good at ancient Chinese, and the Eight Masters of the Tang Dynasty and song dynasties. Wei Xi commented on him: "Bo and Qunshu did not taste good to quote the truth in order to enrich themselves,...... Every life and every article will be deeply contemplated, and it is necessary to remove its clichés and habits and be sincere in its righteousness, and there is no strange and radical remark to shock the world, and so it is. ("Lai Gu Tang Collection Sequence") Because he traveled with the former Ming Dynasty and the old man, his career after entering the Qing Dynasty was repeatedly revived, so there was a silent depression in his article. He was a poet of the Tang Dynasty and admired Yan Yu's poetic theory. In the eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1669), he compiled his own collection of essays, which totaled more than 300 articles. However, the following year, they were all burned down along with the collection plates of the old collections that had been published. The extant collection was re-collected by his children. Zhou Lianggong loves painting, calligraphy, seal carving, good appreciation, and love to collect, so he has many inscriptions, quotations, and books in his collection of texts, which have reference value for cultural relics archaeology and edition revision. His family also had a rich collection of books, so there were 10 kinds of "Collections" engraved at the end of the complete collection, which were passed down to the world. Zhou Lianggong's calligraphy is thin and hard with a pen, and the knot body is not weighed in a symmetrical and neat manner, but also in a dry and humble posture, which has a kind of quaint and strange interest.
He is the author of "Biography of the Indians", "Lai Gutang Anthology", "Reading Picture Record", "Lai Gu Tang Tibetan Seal", "Lai Gu Tang Seal Spectrum" and so on. The inkblots passed down through the generations include the "Xingshu Poetry Axis", "The Seven-Word Verse Scroll", "The Five-Word Poetry Axis" and so on.
