Features: The fourth-generation successor of Wenlin Tang, a master of the I Ching, and an expert in antiques, Lin Xingbang has dedicated his life to inheriting his family's legacy and promoting Chinese culture. In a narrow alley off Ren'ai Road and Dunghua South Road, you'll find an artistic store that resonates with the cultural atmosphere of Dunghua South Road. Upon entering, you might discover renowned Chinese calligraphy masters such as Ding Jinquan, the president of the Calligraphy Association, Pan Qingzhong, and Jian Mingyong, a calligraphy instructor at Normal University, among others, enjoying tea and engaging in lively discussions or freely practicing their calligraphy.
It turns out that this bright and clean, tidy, and elegant store, boasting an abundant collection of fine brushes and antiques, is the pioneer of Taiwan's ink brush industry—Wenlin Tang. Wenlin Tang's brush-making is full of ingenuity and meticulous craftsmanship, making it the pioneer of ink brush production in Taiwan. Countless calligraphy masters have come to the Lin family seeking brushes and formed lifelong friendships with them. Artists such as Zhang Daqian, Yu Youren, Fu Xinyu, Li Putong, Xie Zong'an, Zhu Jiuying, Li Kemei, and Gao Yihong were all regular visitors to Wenlin Tang at the time.
