I have continuously studied the Min 明 dynasty
Wenren 文人 Xu Wei 徐渭 (1521-1593) 's calligraphies and paintings. I have investigated them by little by little around the museums in East Asia, The United States and Europe. And I have written some articles, for example "Dated Calligraphy and Paintings by Xu Wei: As a Basis for a Chronology of Xu Wei's Calligraphy and Paintings" ("
Calligraphic Studies" 書学書道史研究 No.16, 2006) which I classified his dated works by the sets of his own seals into the groups from A to I.
In this article, from the five works of Calligraphies of The Suzhou Museum 蘇州博物館 which I have investigated, I study the two Big Hanging Scrolls of Calligraphy: Cursive Script "
Yongjian" 詠剣 and "
Yongmo" 詠墨, are so-called "the works of a high achievement on the revolution of the using brush" by LIU Zhengcheng 劉正成. I firstly describe its present conditions (the size 352x103cm paper with ink brush, no dated, the seals classified in his latest group I), observe its short history about the study of the two works, and consider its contents (the works are not the poem
shi 詩 but the
ci 詞 poetry. The couple of
ci are originally a part of Xu Wei's "16 pieces of
ci poetry" which are totally constructed by his unique and magnificent thinking of the way of the universe and the emperor. ) and its production time (either the works of his middle period 1581 when he lived in Beijing, or the works of his final years 1592 when he reached the maturity period). Finally I will write a part of the characteristics of so-called the Big Hanging Scroll Calligraphy.
From the Calligraphies of The Suzhou Museum, about the Hand Scroll Calligraphy "
Qingtian-ge" 青天歌, I firstly observe its brief history about the study of the "
Qingtian-ge" Scroll, and consider its possibility of its author is not Xu Wei rather than the Min 明 dynasty
buyi 布衣 calligrapher Xue Suo 雪蓑 which LU Jianzhong 呂建中 has mentioned. I supplement his opinion by the Xue Suo's Inscription of the Hand Scroll Painting "Peach and Bracket Fungus" 蟠桃紫芝図 attributed by Xu Wei of the Hongxi Museum 鴻禧美術館.
