Wen Cheng-ming (1470-1559) was a native of Ch'ang-chou (Soochow). His original name was Pi,
and his style name was Chengming, by which he is later known. Another style name was
Cheng-chung. His sobriquets are Heng-shan and T'ing-yun-sheng. He was a celebrated
calligrapher together with Chu Yun-ming, and predominated his time with his preeminence
in the three arts of poetry, calligraphy and painting. This work, produced when he was

high spirits and vitality even at old age is peerless.
