Chen Jiru, Poem in Running Script

This fan leaf by Chen Jiru features a poem rendered in flowing running script (xingshu), a dynamic calligraphic style that balances control with spontaneity. The work demonstrates the literati tradition of combining poetry and calligraphy, executed in ink on the luxurious ground of gold paper, which creates luminous contrast and elevates the composition. Chen Jiru's refined brushwork exemplifies the scholarly aesthetic valued among Ming and Qing intellectual circles.
