[Starry Morning Hall｜The Rice Wind Refreshes the Soul of Hunan Farmers] This scroll captures the essence of Huang Weng's "Iron Beak, Cold Edge" style. Its majestic crest and feathers evoke the vividness of Bada's wet ink penetrating the paper, while its spurs and claws blend with the blue and white porcelain of late Qing Dynasty folk kilns, creating a grand and profound style of freehand brushwork. The Xuan paper undergoes a secret process of seven temperings and eight sharpenings, and the frosted ochre evokes the "ink-filled autumn fields" of Baishi's "Catalogue of Grass and Insects." The meticulous imitation technique achieves the exacting standards of "rice fragrance study," with each tip honed with twenty years of firewood raking. Compared to conventional bird and flower reproductions, this work demonstrates a profound influence on the brushwork of Ku Chan. It transcends merely a faithful reproduction of the form and spirit of the bird's feathers, truly a connoisseur-level work that blends the power of inscriptions and seal carving with the fragrant earth of Hunan and Xiangxi, a contemporary example of the true meaning of the peasant tradition of the "Five Virtues Morning Calligraphy."
