Emperor Hui-tsung (1082-1135), whose family name was Chao and
given name was Chi, was the eleventh son of the Sung Emperor Shen-tsung. Hui-tsung,
well known as a literati emperor devoted to prose and poetry, was skilled in calligraphy and
painting. He was talented in human figure and bird-and-flower paintings, and showed
prominence in the vivid depiction of figures. He fully demonstrated his preeminent talent
for the three accomplishments of poetry, calligraphy and painting in this work, on which he
inscribed a pentasyllabic verse in the shou-chin ("slender gold") style.
