A servant boy carrying scrolls of calligaphy on his back ambles toward him. The vegetation in this work consists only of stalks of bamboo that shoot up from behind the rock and of a bushy cypress that grows beside the road. The small path zigzags, preventing the composition from appearing too sparse or empty. Shao Mi excelled in poetry, calligraphy, and painting and was noted for his depictions of narcissus, orchids, and rocks. He was influenced by the early tenth-century painters Ching Hao and Kuan T’ung. Shao was a reserved man of uncompromising tastes—a characteristic reflected in his equally aloof landscapes. A native of Ch’ang-chou (present-day Soochow), he is also known by his sobriquet, Kua-ch’ou (melon field). &*故宮書畫圖錄,第二十三冊,頁214-217&*1.〈明邵彌竹石高士〉,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82-83。
