Overview: Fu Shan was a notable scholar, painter, calligrapher and Chinese traditional medicine practitioner of late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Fu Shan was highly valued by the government of Qing Dynasty for his talents. He, however, turned down the offer of assuming an important role in the government, retreating to his home. His calligraphy was strongly inspired Yan Zhen Qing. Fu’s calligraphy impresses with even dynamic strokes. Unpretentious and natural, that is the beauty of the spirit of calligraphy championed by Fu. This masterpiece marks another milestone of late Ming Dynasty as found in the brushstrokes of his calligraphy – casual profile, vigorous yet flexible, and full of surprise elements. It may look insubstantial at first glance, but the seamless rhythm of his calligraphy convinces his critics. In other words, once Fu started it, he was unassailable. He was expressively an unreserved character in promoting the inner beauty of calligraphy. He was frank and open about his calligraphy. He just let his talent take charge of his calligraphy naturally. This masterpiece is now on display at Shanghai Museum.
