Wang Hsi-chih: K'uai-hsueh shih-ch'ing t'ieh
(Written after Snowfall)
Chin Dynasty / album / ink on paper
|
Wang Hsi-chih (307 ?-365 ?) was a native of Lin-i, Shantung province. His style name
was I-shao. He administered with considerable success as an official, but later resigned
and enjoyed himself among the mountains and streams. He excelled in calligraphy from an
early age, and studied the various styles from the Han dynasty and kingdom of Wei. He was
revered in later periods as the Immortal Calligrapher. This album was treasured by the
Ch'ieng-lung Emperor of the Ch'ing dynasty together with the scrolls Chung-ch'iu-t'ieh
by Wang Hsien-chih and Po-yuan-t'ieh by Wang Hsun, which were stored in a room named
San-hsi-t'ang ("Hall of Three Rarities").
