Ju Jie, Calligraphy in Running Script

This fan leaf by Ju Jie demonstrates the virtuosity of running script, a fluid and expressive calligraphic style that emphasizes spontaneity and personal brushwork. The artist's characters flow across the gold-flecked paper with dynamic energy, with the luminous ground enhancing the visual richness of the ink strokes. As a prominent calligrapher active during the Ming dynasty, Ju Jie exemplifies the literati tradition in which refined brushwork was valued as a visual manifestation of artistic cultivation and moral character.
