Tan Shu (1899-1981), courtesy name Manjia and art name Shenxian, was born in Chaling, Hunan. She also used the studio sobriquet Yurun Lou Zhuren. The daughter of calligrapher Tan Yan-kai, she received her early training at home, diligently practicing calligraphy by copying models written by her father. Her style combined those of Yan Zhen-qing and Qian Nan-yuan, with particular mastery of Yan’s style. She also excelled at painting plum blossoms, rendering them with grace and an upright vigor. Some of her works bear the signature Yuan Tan Shu, incorporating her husband’s surname. Her publications include Essentials of Calligraphy and Tan Shu’s Regular Script. She taught at Taiwan Provincial Teachers College (now National Taiwan Normal University) and served as an executive supervisor of the Chinese Calligraphy Society, among other positions.
