EMPEROR LIZONG. Quatrain by Meng Haoran

Quatrain by Meng Haoran. Artist: Emperor Lizong (Chinese, 1205-64, r. 1224-64). Culture: China. Dimensions: Image: 9 × 9 5/8 in. (22.9 × 24.4 cm). Date: ca. 1260-64.
Like most imperial calligraphies, this fan is not signed or dated, but its distinctive writing style-- the same as that of the couplet mounted together with Ma Lin's Landscape at Sunset (Nezu Museum, Tokyo) and dated 1254--clearly identifies it as a work by Lizong. The round seal showing the trigram qian ("Heaven"), used only by the emperor, confirms its imperial pedigree. The poem, though composed by Meng Haoran (689-740), perfectly describes the kind of atmospheric qualities that thirteenth-century painters, such as Ma Lin and Liang Kai, sought to evoke pictorially:
In the Chan meditation hall, on the mountaintop, hangs a priest's robe.
There is no one outside the window, only birds flying by a stream.
As dusk half envelops the mountain path,
I hear the bells toll over the endless greenery.
(Wen C. Fong, trans., in Beyond Representation: Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, 8th-14th Century [New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1992], p. 239).
