Cheng Pan-chiao: Man-chiang-hung in Semi-cursive Script
Ching Dynasty / hanging scroll / ink on paper
 |
Cheng Hsieh (1693-1765) was a native of Hsing-hua, Kiangsu province. His style name as Ko-jou
and his sobriquet was Pan-chiao. He was gifted in poetry, calligraphy and painting,
and is counted as one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangchow. He excelled in painting orchids and bamboo
in untrammeled brushstrokes which overwhelmed the current of the times, and he created
a unique style in calligraphy by integrating chuan seal characters and li simplified seal characters
in the cursive, semi-cursive and standard scripts. This work, perhaps from
his late years, is a transcription fo the poetry man-chiang-hung by his master Lu Chen and is a master piece
empodying the free and uninhibited spirit of Cheng Hsieh.
