• Description:
  Zhao Bingwen (1159 － 1232), a Zhouchen, was born in Cixian County, Hebei Province. Jin Shizong became a scholar in the 25th year of Dading. He lived through five dynasties, namely Shizong, Zhangzong, Weishao King, Xuanzong and Aizong. He has written a lot. At present, there is still a Collection of Fu Shui Works of Leisure Elderly People. Zhao’s admiration for Han culture and respect for Su Shi and Huang Tingjian of the Northern Song Dynasty are naturally revealed in their words. Although calligraphy is also based on Su Huang, it actually starts from the Tang people and is not just a school of one family. This section of the postscript is bold and unrestrained, like the interest and spirit of Dongpo, of which the essence of the real and unadorned is the most touching.
