68K0

Yao Mang's father was a famous calligrapher, painter, poet, lyricist, classics historian, writer and art educator during the Republic of China. He had 31 volumes of "Fu Tang Lei Manuscript" in circulation. This book is a collection of 56 family letters written by Yao Mang's father to his eldest son Yao Rui. The letter is full of a father's respectful teachings to his son. In addition to reminding people of the principles of life and doing things, the content of the letter also involves guidance on Chinese studies, including the key points of calligraphy, tips on how to read ancient texts, etc. At the same time, he also shared the joy of collecting inscriptions and rubbings with his son. Also attached are 17 letters from Yao Mang's father to Wang Boqun, which mainly cover the publication of "Fu Tang Lei Manuscript" and job hunting matters for the second son. In the book "Like Meeting Ruyu: Letters from Mang's Father's Family", we have no intention of discussing Mang's father's literary and artistic achievements. We only want to understand Mang's father through the handwritten family letters of his eldest son Yao Nong.
