Description:
Hanging scrolls featuring poems in cursive script testify to a new interest in this exhibitionist calligraphic format in the Southern Song period. Surviving original works are rare, however, and indeed this is the only known example of the format involving a heptasy llabic quatrain. The hanging scroll format places particular demands on the calligrapher to create a unified whole, and here the left and right sides are perfectly matched. The unaffected brushwork also highlights the work's spirit of animation and liveliness. Pauses in the onward impetus of the brush show the influence of Huang Tingjian as well as that of Mi Fu.
