The painting, calligraphy and stationery house on Liulichang, traced to a shop founded in 1672 and renamed Rongbaozhai in 1894, with signboards written by Xu Beihong and Guo Moruo. It sells paintings, calligraphy and seals, is known for water-colour woodblock prints and for mounting and restoring old paintings; tourists browsing Liulichang's souvenir stalls often skip the serious shop.
