清末著名学者、爱国主义者、金石学家、书法家、甲骨学鼻祖王懿荣(1845—1900年)字正孺，号廉生，山东福山人。光绪六年(1880年)庚辰科进士，授翰林院编修。入直南书房，投国子监祭酒，官至侍读，卒谥文敏。

The paper introduces the six letters sent each other between Wang Yirong (1845-1900), epigraphist and head of inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells of the Shang Dynasty (c. 16th-11th century B.C.), and General Song Qing (1820-1902), in the late Qing Dynasty. Wang and Song were townsmen and good friends, and these letters are historical literatures understanding the activities of the bureaucrat class of the late Qing Dynasty.
