Features: Chen Chun, styled Daofu, styled Baiyang Mountain Man, was a native of Changzhou (Wuxian County, Jiangsu). He was a renowned painter and calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, known for his freehand floral paintings and is often paired with Xu Wei as "Qingteng Baiyang." His calligraphy excelled in cursive script, characterized by bold and vigorous style, leading the way in late Ming cursive script. Many of his calligraphic works have been passed down through generations, but they are often mixed with forgeries. The author of this book, after years of research, has categorized the works of Chen Chun into four categories: masterpieces, authentic works, doubtful works, and forgeries, and has provided detailed discussions on each. This offers valuable reference for studying ancient calligraphy and authenticating genuine works.
