Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang dynasty 唐玄宗 (685-762)
Forfatter
Wei Guangcheng 魏光乘
Titel
Ode on Pied Wagtails 鶺鴒頌
Beskrivelse
"The brushwork in this handscroll is steady and the use of ink rich, having a force of vigor and magnanimity in every stroke. The brushwork also clearly reveals pauses and transitions in the strokes. The character forms are similar to those of Wang Xizhi's (303-361) characters assembled into "Preface to the Sacred Teaching" composed in the Tang dynasty, but the strokes are even more robust. It demonstrates the influence of Xuanzong’s promotion of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy at that time and reflects the trend towards plump aesthetics in the High Tang under his reign."
In the autumn of 719 or 721,[1] a large flock of pied wagtails perched at the Linde Hall in the palatial complex of the Tang dynasty. Emperor Xuanzong (Minghuang) and the official Wei Guangcheng perceived the pied wagtails as being close to each other, likening them to brothers who demonstrated fraternal affection, due their characteristic calling and wagging of tail. Emperor Xuanzong commissioned Wei Guangcheng to compose a record of this occurrence and he personally wrote Wei's composition onto this handscroll. The work is the only known surviving example of the emperor's calligraphy.
