Sung dynasty
Handscroll / ink on paper
Handscroll : 28.1 x 553.5cm (including postscript)
Ou-yang Hsiu (1007-1072) was a native of Lu-ling, Kiangsi province. His style name was Yung-shu, and his sobriquet was first Tsui-weng and later Liu-i chu-shih. He studied various books and was unsurpassed in prose. "Records on Collecting Antiques," whose extant manuscript is the four sheets of this handscroll, is a pioneer literature on the study of Chinese ancient metal and stone inscriptions. His calligraphy, following the style of Li Yung, is endowed with a scholarly character and conveys well Ou-yang Hsiu's temperament which was gentle in appearance but sturdy in spirit.
