Description:
This eulogy was wrtten by Xuanzong in his youth. It recounts how on a certain day in the early Kaiyuan period (A.D. 713-714) the Linde Palace experienced a sudden influx of thousands of wagtails. As a witness to these birds happily settling in the palace grounds, Xuanzong shared this experience with his five brothers and wrote this poem as an expression of his feelings. In calligraphic terms, this work loyally reflects the tradition of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi that that dominated the Tang court.
