Wu Rangzhi (1799–1870) was a calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty. His original name was Tingbiao, courtesy name Xizai. To avoid the taboo of the Tongzhi Emperor’s name, he changed his courtesy name to Rangzhi (also written as Rangzhi) and used pen names such as Rangweng and Wanzi Jushi. He was from Yizheng, Jiangsu province.

Wu Rangzhi was a disciple of Bao Shichen and was skilled in epigraphy and calligraphy, especially seal carving. He was proficient in various calligraphy scripts including seal script (zhuanshu), clerical script (lishu), running script (xingshu), and cursive script (caoshu). His greatest achievements were in seal carving. Initially, he imitated Qin and Han dynasty seals, later studying under Deng Shiru, becoming one of the outstanding seal artists of the late Qing.

Wu’s seal script calligraphy was meticulous and refined, with fluid strokes that appeared soft but were actually strong. His character structures were neat, stable, and elegant. He inherited Deng Shiru’s brush techniques, adding a sense of movement that brought charm and variation to his work.
