Description:
The placard is believed to be written on a particular kind of paper, known as the dengxin paper, or "paper that brings peaceful mind," which was particularly renowned during northern Song. Written on this paper is a famous placard by Cai Xian, one of the four most famous calligraphers during Song. The placard expresses a peculiar taste and extraordinary attention that the Song literati have for stationery. Although this piece of paper is not confirmed to be an original, its texture and ornament seem to match the depiction written in the past about the Song dengxin paper. The depiction writes: "The paper is solid and smooth like jade, thin and fine to gloss like ice and silk." Because of this, some scholars believe that this placard is written on an original dengxin paper.
