Features: The evaluation of the Buddhist master Zhao Puchu on the divine couple Zhao Mengfu and Guodao Sheng is truly fitting. Zhao Mengfu was a peerless talent, renowned as the "Yuan Dynasty master of painting," and his calligraphy, known as the "Zhao style," remains a treasure in the art world. His poetry, prose, and essays in all styles were brilliant, pioneering a new era in Yuan Dynasty poetry. Guodao Sheng was equally gifted in both talent and appearance, skilled in poetry and calligraphy, with a fresh and elegant brushwork. For a full thirty years, this couple of three-perfects in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, traveled together in the world of poetry and art, shared joys and sorrows in the treacherous political seas, and supported each other, leaving behind many touching stories.
