Liu Yong (1719-1805) is also known by his zi (designated name) Chongru and hao (literary name) Shi'an, native to Zhucheng, Shandong province. A jinshi (a successful candidate of imperial civil-examination) in the 16^th year (1751) of the Qianlong reign, he was once the Grand Secretariat. Liu was a representative calligrapher focusing on model calligraphy study. This calligraphy is a transcription of Su Shi's poem responding to a monk in a trip to Tangquan in Mountain Lu. The work is characterized by rich ink with firm structures.
