Talk:Shitao

Date Discrepancy
Dates are different from the version in the Chinese wikipedia.--Confuzion 01:55, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

There is some uncertainty about the year he was born or died. However "1642-1707" is a common figure I find. The Hong Kong Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum, and China onsite list him as 1642-1707. However at Chinapage they prefer the version used in Chinese wikipedia. Other sources I've seen just admit uncertainty and indicate he was born after 1638 and died before 1720.--T.

Merge from Tao Chi
The two are one and the same person. The information there should be merged into here. It would also be good to list Shitao's monastic name "Tao Chi" to prevent the confusion. -- Sjschen (talk) 16:22, 30 June 2016 (UTC) agreed.67.41.99.211 (talk) 18:02, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Sjschen is absolutely right. Shi Tao is one of the names used by this painter in his artistic life. Tao Chi (Wade-Giles) or Dao Ji (Hanyu pinyin) is another name used by the same painter,whose "real" name was Zhu Ruoji. The two Wikipedia entries should be merged.
