南宋 理宗 趙昀 楷書韓翊 《 潮聲山翠》 聯句 團扇|Couplet from a Poem by Han Hong

Emperor Lizong

1261 · Fan mounted as an album leaf; a) ink on silk, b) ink on paper, c) ink on paper · Asian Art

The confidence and boldness displayed by the large characters of this fan epitomize Lizong's late style. Written when the emperor was fifty-six years old, the fan is his latest extant dated work. The couplet, from a poem entitled "Farewell to Yuan Shen on His Return to Jiangdong" by Han Hong (act. ca. 766-80), a well-known Tang dynasty poet, brings to mind the scenery around the Southern Song capital: The sounds of the tide rise at noon; The greens of the mountains are deepest in the south.
