Lin Zexu (1785–1850) was a prominent Chinese scholar-official of the Qing dynasty, renowned for his staunch opposition to the opium trade and his role in the First Opium War. Beyond his political and military endeavors, Lin Zexu was also an accomplished calligrapher, whose works are celebrated for their aesthetic and historical significance. His calligraphy is characterized by its vigorous and robust style, reflecting his resolute personality and moral integrity.

Lin Zexu's calligraphy is deeply rooted in the traditional Chinese literati culture, which values the art of writing as a reflection of one's character and scholarly attainment. His works often feature classical Chinese scripts, including the regular script (kaishu), running script (xingshu), and cursive script (caoshu). Each piece demonstrates his mastery of brush techniques, control of ink, and the harmonious balance of form and space.

One of the most famous pieces attributed to Lin Zexu is his "Letter to the English Ruler," written in 1839, which was a formal communication to Queen Victoria urging the cessation of the opium trade. This letter not only exemplifies his calligraphic skill but also serves as a poignant historical document, encapsulating the gravity of the opium crisis and Lin's unwavering dedication to his country's welfare.

Lin Zexu's calligraphy has been preserved in various forms, including handscrolls, hanging scrolls, and steles. His works are held in high esteem by collectors and scholars alike, and they are frequently exhibited in museums and galleries. The study of his calligraphy offers valuable insights into the cultural and intellectual milieu of the late Qing dynasty, as well as the personal ethos of one of China's most revered historical figures.
