Night-Shining White - Colophon 4
Think of this section as the ultimate 'comment section' on a masterpiece. Although part of the famous 'Night-Shining White' scroll attributed to Han Gan, this specific text is a colophon written in 1320 by a scholar named Chu Weishan. He geeks out over Du Fu's poetry and discusses the legendary skills of Han Gan and his teacher Cao Ba in capturing the spirit of horses, specifically mentioning the Emperor's favorite steed. The bright red seals scattered around are collector stamps, acting like a historical guestbook proving this scroll has been cherished and passed down for centuries.
