Description:
This is considered to be Su Shi's finest calligraphic masterpiece. It expresses his inner pain following banishment from the capital on charges of calumny against the government of the day, and his appointment to the lowly provincial office of deputy military training commissioner at Huangzhou. The poverty-stricken living conditions at Huangzhou plunged the poet into the depths of despair. His surging emotions are perfectly crystallized in this example of his cursive script calligraphy, with its characters of unpredictable size, columns of varying density, and corresponding variations in ink tone.
