Explanatory notes on the volume of Xingcao Shiwen
: “In June of the 16th year of Chenghua, Zhang Bi wrote in Nan’an County.” The seal was “Ru Bi” and “Dong Haiweng”. The collection is printed with “Pan’s Jitong Collection”, “Li Dingyi Collection”, “Song’s Lianyi Elder” and other aspects. At the back of the volume is an inscription by Pan Zhengwei of the Qing Dynasty
This volume contains Zhang Bi’s own five-character poems, seven seven-character poems and five short essays. The book was written in June of the 16th year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1480), and the author was 56 years old
At that time, the standard of “Taige style” in the early Ming Dynasty, which was neat, smooth, mellow, graceful and smooth, had been changed in the literary world, and the pursuit was the unrestrained and free style. Zhang Bi was a typical calligrapher at that time. His style of writing was greatly influenced by the indulgence of Huaisu’s wild grass, which can be seen from this painting. The works are characterized by unique strokes, smooth lines, and free and unrestrained strokes, which make the reincarnation lively, vigorous and varied, reflecting the typical features of Zhang Bicao’s book.
