Tree Colors in Level Distance - Colophon 2 - Liu Guan et al.
Think of this as the ancient equivalent of a glowing review in a museum guestbook! While the scroll is attributed to the Song Dynasty master Guo Xi, this specific section features calligraphy by later Yuan Dynasty scholars like Liu Guan and Yu Ji. They used their elegant brushstrokes to write poems praising Guo Xi's landscape masterpiece, 'Tree Colors in the Flat Distance,' describing his mastery of misty mountains and ancient trees. It’s a fascinating look at how art appreciation was a communal activity, with scholars adding their thoughts directly onto the scroll over centuries.
