The calligraphy in this work, done by Wang at the age of 35, is flowing and graceful. This preface was authored by Han Yu (768-824) at the age of 33 and was once praised by the literary great Su Shih (1036-1101) as the most important piece of literature from the T'ang dynasty (618-907). P'an-ku lies at the southern part of the T'ai-hang Mountains in Honan province and was the site of reclusion for Han Yu's friend Li Yuan. Han was envious of Li Yuan for being able to return to his life of reclusion in the mountains, and Han expressed a desire to follow suit. Thus, this work become a model of reclusion for scholars in painting and calligraphy. &*1.許郭璜,〈明王寵書韓愈送李愿歸盤谷序〉,收入許郭璜主編,《王寵書法特展圖錄》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1992年七月初版一刷),頁129-130。 2.許郭璜,〈明王寵書韓愈送李愿歸盤谷序〉,收入國立故宮博物院編輯委員會編,《文學名著與美術特展》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,2001年初版),頁157-160。
