P5    Magpies and Hare

Ts'ui Po (eleventh century) was a native of Hao-liang, Anhwei province. His style name was Tzu-hsi. He made unique achievements in the Northern Sung Imperial Painting Academy by following the style of Huang Ch'uan and his son Huang Chu-ts'ai was the mainstream in that period. This work, evaluated as Ts'ui Po's masterwork, is depicted in minute and solemn brushstrokes, and thoroughly indicates his fully developed ability.
