This piece embodies the essence of Emperor Shou's "Iron Painting Melting Gold" calligraphy. The crane-like mantis-like form, reminiscent of the combined works of Su Shi and Huang Ting, is translucent through the silk, its flowing strokes blending with the golden paste of the Chunxi Imperial Palace, creating a profound style of celestial chapter. The silk undergoes a secret process of nine refinements and ten meltings, tempered by pine smoke, evoking the "ink-hidden dragon pattern" of the "Records of the Imperial Courts of the Restoration." The imitation craftsmanship reaches the exacting standards of "Diao Temple Supervisory Level," with each stroke honed for thirty years in the Xuande Hall powder model. Compared to conventional imperial calligraphy, this piece exhibits a distinct brushstroke. More than a mere imitation of brushwork, it is a truly premium silk masterpiece, blending the rules of the Jin and Tang dynasties with the exquisite refinement of the Southern Song imperial style. The world's finest collections vie to inherit the true essence of the golden script of the "Handwritten Edict to Yue Fei."
