EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Ma Hezhi, titled "Odes of the State of Bin" from the mid-12th century. The handscroll is a visual representation of one of the 305 poems found in the Shijing, also known as The Book of Odes, believed to have been compiled by Confucius himself during his lifetime. The Southern Song dynasty's influence is evident in this masterpiece, with its intricate calligraphy and vibrant colors adorning gold and silver silk fabric. The letterbox format allows for a panoramic view that transports viewers back to ancient China. In this scene, we see a picturesque landscape featuring a riverbank adorned with lush trees and plants. A monk peacefully observes his surroundings while nearby men and women go about their daily lives. This image beautifully captures both nature's serenity and humanity's connection to it. Ma Hezhi's skillful brushwork brings life to every detail on this scroll, showcasing his mastery in depicting geographical features and capturing the essence of Chinese culture through art. As we admire this heritage piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are reminded not only of China's rich artistic history but also its deep religious traditions intertwined within daily life. Without mentioning any commercial use or company affiliation, Ma Hezhi's work stands as an enduring testament to the beauty and significance of Chinese literature, poetry, religion, and heritage artistry.
