Ding Erzhong is the sobriquet of Ding Shangyu, a Qing dynasty scholar official from Tongzhou in Jiangsu Province, who was also a calligrapher, seal carver, painter and master of inside-painted snuff bottles. In addition to finding inspiration in Song, Ming and Qing dynasty paintings, his garden scenes with auspicious objects and rockwork were influenced by Zhou Leyuan.
