Remembering the Past: Four Poems Following the Rhymes of Chen the Academician (Full Scroll) in Running Script on Paper 32x485 by Wen Zhengming

Unrolling this nearly five-meter-long scroll feels like taking a walk through a garden of ink. Wen Zhengming, a giant of the Ming Dynasty, penned these four poems in his signature flowing running script, playfully rhyming with a colleague named Chen. He was famous for his incredible discipline, refining his brushwork well into his eighties, and this piece showcases that lifelong mastery. The red seals scattered throughout act like a historical guestbook, stamping ownership and appreciation from collectors over the centuries.
