His style name was Yu-wen and his sobriquet was Pei-kuo-sheng. In 1374, he was sent to Honan as a Provincial Administration Commissioner. He specialized in painting and poetry and was considered one of the “Ten Talents” of his period. Hsü’s paintings are in the style of Tung Yüan (d. 962) and Chu-jan (fl. Ca. 960-980), and he was also influenced by Wang Shen (ca. 1048-1107) and Mi Fu (1052-1107). Lion’s Grove Garden was located in the northeast section of Soochow. The Yüan Dynasty monk, Wei-tse, built this garden as the locus of his religious practice. He was fond of collecting unusually shaped rocks. One of these stones resembled a lion and was called “Lion’s Peak,” hence the garden was named “Lion’s Grove Garden.” This album leaf is part of an album depicting the famous gardens of Soochow. The entire set was painted in monochrome ink. Hsü used a dry brush to create the texture strokes of the trees and rocks, then he applied the fluid washes, thus creating a sense of archaic rusticity. &*1.〈明徐賁獅子林圖〉,收入國立故宮博物院編輯委員會編,《園林名畫特展圖錄》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1987年十月初版),頁80。 2.〈明徐賁獅子林圖〉,收入國立故宮博物院編輯委員會編,《山水畫墨法特展圖錄》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1987年七月初版),頁64-65。 3.邱麗麗,《徐賁生平及三幅水墨畫蹟之研究》,中國文化學院藝術研究所碩士論文,1986年。
