Footnote
Kang Youwei (1858–1927), a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, was a leader of the late Qing reformist faction and spearheaded the Hundred Days' Reform. In calligraphy, he advocated the study of stele inscriptions and wrote Guang Yi Zhou Shuang Ji, promoting Wei steles over Tang models, with a bold, rugged, and distinctive style that exerted a profound influence.
康有為（1858–1927），廣東南海人，晚清維新派領袖，主導戊戌變法。書法倡碑學，著《廣藝舟雙楫》，尊魏卑唐，風格雄渾奇崛，影響深遠。
