Item Details
Description
Xu Xi, an outstanding painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties, was a native of Jinling (now Nanjing) or, in some cases, Zhongling (now Jinxian, Jiangxi). Born in a "famous family in the south of the Yangtze River". He was born in the Guangqi period of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty. He returned to the Song Dynasty with Empress Li in the last year of Kaibao (975 AD) and died of illness soon after. He had never been an official in his life, so Guo Ruoxu called him "a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River". Shen Kuo said that he was a "Jiangnan commoner". His temperament is bold and open-minded, his ambition is high, and he is good at painting flowers, bamboos, trees, cicadas, butterflies, grass and insects, and his beauty is no different from nature.
