In this work, Wen Zhengming transcribed his own poem in seven-character regulated verse entitled, “Reverently Awaiting the Emperor’s Return from the Southern Altar.” The characters are quite large at four Chinese inches across, and the brushwork is strong and bold, a powerful aura transcending the entire work with characters and brushwork much in the untrammeled manner of Huang Tingjian.(20110913)
