EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite New Year picture, dating back to the 10th-11th century, is a rare and precious masterpiece from the rich artistic heritage of China, now preserved in the esteemed Collection of the National Palace Museum Taiwan. Created by the renowned artist Zhao Chang during the late 10th to early 11th century, this pigment painting on silk is a stunning representation of the Chinese New Year celebrations during the Song Dynasty. The composition of the painting is divided into two distinct sections. The upper part depicts the celestial realm, where the Jade Emperor and his heavenly court are assembled to usher in the New Year. The lower part, in contrast, portrays the earthly realm, with a lively and colorful still life scene. The abundance of fruits, vegetables, and other delicacies symbolizes prosperity and good fortune. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the painting are a testament to the artist's mastery of the pigment painting technique. The delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail are evident in the rendering of the various textures and forms, from the smooth surface of the fruits to the intricate patterns of the clothing and decorations. The New Year picture is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable cultural artifact that provides insight into the traditions and customs of the Chinese New Year celebrations during the Song Dynasty. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us to a bygone era, allowing us to experience the joy and excitement of the New Year festivities through the eyes of a master artist.
