(Song Copy) Nymph of the Luo River Scroll (Volume 1) - Colophon 2 - Qianlong
Those massive red stamps aren't just decoration; they are the imperial seals of the Qianlong Emperor, a ruler famous for 'graffitiing' his favorite masterpieces with his own poems and chops. This section comes from a Song dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's legendary 'Nymph of the Luo River,' featuring elegant calligraphy that recounts a romantic encounter between a prince and a river goddess. The Emperor added his own commentary right here, effectively writing a review in the margins of a thousand-year-old classic. It’s a perfect example of how Chinese emperors treated art collections as personal diaries, layering their own history directly onto ancient genius.
