Wu Rangzhi (1799-1870), also known as Wu Xizai, was a Chinese painter, calligrapher, and master seal carver. He developed the Wan School, originally founded by Deng Shiru, and frequently paired his own texts with rubbings of stelae and other carvings, demonstrating the range of possibilities available to artists inspired by the scholarship of the Stele School and its willingness to blend old and new forms.

吳讓之 (1799-1870), 字熙載，清代畫家、篆刻家、書法家。包世臣的入室弟子。善書畫，尤精篆刻。少時即追摹秦漢印作，後直接取法鄧石如，得其神髓，又綜合自己的學識，發展完善了“鄧派”篆刻藝術，在明清流派篆刻史上具有舉足輕重的地位。吳煕載以篆書和隸書最為知名，在晚清書壇享有很高的聲譽。對後來的趙之謙、吳昌碩均有影響。
