Copying Mi Fu's Record of Fangyuan Hermitage - Character 6
Dong Qichang, a Ming dynasty master who basically wrote the rulebook on Chinese literati art, here pays tribute to the Song dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu. The characters flow with a relaxed, almost dancing rhythm, showing off Dong's signature style of 'copying' that was more about capturing the spirit than strict replication. That massive red seal in the top corner? It belongs to the Qianlong Emperor, proving this scroll was once a prized possession of the imperial court. It’s a fascinating visual conversation across centuries, where one genius interprets another.
