介绍（中）	赵是当时最著名的学者，他在一个商人家庭长大，但为了在政府中发展事业，他接受了古典教育。1859年，赵通过了省级公务员考试，在接下来的12年里，他在北京出售自己的艺术品，但未能通过首都考试，然后于1872年被授予江西省地方长官的职位。赵同样是一位著名的书法家、篆刻家和画家。他最为人所知的是源自北魏（386–534）刻石的独特"方笔"书法风格，正如他在这里的奉献和签名所示，但他也发展出了一种独特的丰满的篆书风格，以这副对联为例，这表达了一种适合儒家家庭的情感：伟大的美德来自宽容，真诚来自没有欺骗的头脑（孙志新译）
介绍（英）	Zhao Zhiqian, the leading scholar-artist of his day, grew up in a merchant family but received a classical education in order to pursue a career in government. Passing the provincial civil-service examination in 1859, Zhao spent the next twelve years in Beijing selling his art while trying unsuccessfully to pass the capital examination before being awarded a post as district magistrate in Jiangxi Province in 1872. Zhao was equally renowned as a calligrapher, seal carver, and painter. He is best known for a distinctive "square-brush" style of calligraphy derived from the engraved stone writings of the Northern Wei dynasty (386–534), as seen in his dedication and signature here, but he also developed a distinctively plump seal-script manner exemplified by this couplet, which expresses a sentiment appropriate for a Confucian household: Great virtue comes from forbearance, sincerity comes from a mind free from deception. (translated by Jason Zhixin Sun)
