Specialist Note:
One needed to be good at writing in order to be ranked in the ancient imperial examination. Candidates were trained rigorously in calligraphy to reach the formal standard. The two couplets, written by Lu Runxiang (first rank in 1874 examination) and Liu Chunlin (first rank in 1904) were the highest standard at that time.
