Description:
Huang Tingjian was an eminent man of literature and calligrapher of the Northern Song period whose name is often linked with that of his friend Su Shi. His poems were much sought after. Wang Shen once sent him a poem in order to elicit a response in similar vein, but when Huang Tingjian proved slow to act he sent him some flowers as a reminder. This kindness spurred Huang Tingjian to write this poem, blaming his lack of inspiration on his failure to practice Buddhist meditation during the sultry summer weather. In his drafting script, Huang Tingjian shows the influence of Huaisu. Despite its small size, this work displays enormous variations in ink tone, the center of gravity of individual character structures, and in the arrangement of columns.
