黄庭坚
宋
Huang Tingjian was a leading poet and calligrapher of the Northern Song dynasty, courtesy name Luzhi, also known as the Daoist of Shangu and, in his later years, the Old Man of Fu. He was the central figure of the Jiangxi School of poetry, and his calligraphy is counted among the "Four Masters of the Song" along with Su Shi, Mi Fu, and Cai Xiang. Huang Tingjian's ci poetry is stylistically diverse, ranging from crisp and vigorous to subtle and delicate. "Moshanxi · For Chen Xiang, a Courtesan of Hengyang" exemplifies his tender, refined treatment of feminine grace and parting sentiment.
