Zhao Puchu was a hardworking calligrapher, often copying exemplary works from reputed calligraphers of the Jin, Tang, and Song dynasties for practice. This album is a fairly intact version among his many copies of Sun Guoting's work, A Narrative on Calligraphy. By using a worn-down brush, Zhao created a mature, unadorned genre of calligraphy with extraordinary deft brushwork. It should have been written in his later years.
