Talk:Hu Zhengyan

Voice
This article has a bit too much voice, and it needs to be more formal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bandors (talk • contribs) 17:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Earliest
I can't see that the references support "As a result, he was able to produce China's first printed publications in colour, using a technique known as dou ban yin shua.[7] [8][9]" - colour printing has "Michael Sullivan writes that "the earliest color printing known in China, and indeed in the whole world, is a two-color frontispiece to a Buddhist sutra scroll, dated 1346". Color prints were also used later in the Ming Dynasty.[1] In Chinese woodblock printing, early color woodcuts mostly occur in luxury books about art, especially the more prestigious medium of painting. The first known example is a book on ink-cakes printed in 1606, and color technique reached its height in books on painting published in the seventeenth century. Notable examples are Hu Zhengyan's Treatise on the Paintings and Writings of the Ten Bamboo Studio of 1633, and the Mustard Seed Garden Painting Manual published in 1679 and 1701.[2 - Sickman & Soper's standard Yale History of Chinese art]".

 * I got that from the WDL ref (citation 8 in the current lineup), but you're right, there are a number of sources suggesting that earlier colour printing techniques existed. For the time being (since I'm only dipping into Wikipedia for a few minutes today) I'll add a modifier, but I'll do a bit more research and expand the article over the next week. Much obliged for the catch. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  13:00, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * After doing a fair bit of hunting, I think it's clear that although an important figure in the history of colour woodblock printing, Hu certainly wasn't the first exponent of the art, despite what the source says. I've amended the article accordingly. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  09:50, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

 * The first two lines consist of a list of nine different versions of his name. This is not a good way to start. Hymn and her (talk) 23:19, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree—it's probably best to move most of those to the body or a footnote. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 23:22, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Per MOS:CHINA, the only real alternative is - I'll see about adding it in. Yunshui 雲 水  08:58, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Better? Yunshui 雲 水 09:04, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Even better, now I've merged the infoboxes - good call, Hymn and her, thanks! Yunshui 雲 水 09:11, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
