Features: "Poetry Scroll of Taohsi," a representative work of Mi Fu's running script, and a typical example of his [brushing] style. In the "Comprehensive Dictionary of Chinese Calligraphy Appreciation," the modern critic Liu Yucheng comments: [His boundless emotions and moods are so skillfully expressed in the "Poetry Scroll of Taohsi" that it reaches a transcendent realm. If people say Mi Fu is a scholar who [collects ancient characters], then I would argue that his innovation in brushwork, known as [brushing] style, far surpasses his inheritance of tradition. This statement offers valuable insights into understanding Mi Fu and appreciating the "Poetry Scroll of Taohsi."]
