Features: "Calligraphy of Xiao Cao Thousand Characters by Huai Su" was written by Huai Su (737–799), styled Zangzhen, with the secular surname Qian, from Changsha, Hunan. This volume of "Xiao Cao Thousand Characters" was composed in the 15th year of the Zhenyuan era, and is a late masterwork of Huai Su. The brushwork is round and vigorous, concise, yet filled with substance. The smooth and elegant turns of the brushwork seem almost divinely inspired, capturing a serene and simple yet transcendent spirit, as if untouched by the worldly mundane.
