Ch: Su Dongpo (1036-1101). Lit. retired scholar of the eastern slope. A Northern Song Chinese literatus who was a noted poet, essayist, calligrapher, painter, and statesman. Su Dongpo's real name was Su Shi (Jp: So Shoku hηg), and he also used the pseudonym Zizhan (Jp: Shisen qαΫ). Born to a wealthy family in Meishan ϋR, Sichuan lμ province, his father was the scholar Su Xun (Jp: So Jun h«, 1009-66) and his younger brother the essayist Su Zhe (Jp: So Tetsu hQ, d.1112). Su studied with Ouyang Xiu (Jp: Ouyou Shuu ’zγω, 1007- 72) and received the jinshi (Jp: shinshi im) degree at age 21. He occupied a variety of administrative posts around China, including that of Governor of Hangzhou RB where he is associated with a set of dikes at the West Lake *Seiko ΌΞ (Ch: Xihu). After criticizing the reformist policies of prime minister Wang Anshi (Jp: Ou Anseki €ΐΞ; 1021- 86), he was banished from the capital. Later he was pardoned and by imperial decree reinstated to the Hanlin ΛΡ academy, a theme elegantly visualized by several Chinese painters. Similarly, Su often is depicted practicing calligraphy in paintings of the Elegant Gathering in the Western Garden *Seiengashuu ΌλW (Ch: Xiyuanyaji). His most famous prose-poem, the two-part Red Cliff Ode (Ch: Chibifu, Jp: Sekihekifu ΤΗ, see *Sekiheki ΤΗ), was also illustrated by both Chinese and Japanese artists. Su is generally shown riding a mule and wearing a large hat. Su was an influential theorist, stressing the importance of artistic personality in both poetry and painting. For Su, a successful painting had neither formal likeness nor technical skill, but conveyed the artist's spirit of mind. His ideas and paintings, usually of an old tree, bamboo, and rock, were a major influence on later literati painting *bunjinga Άlζ (Ch:wenrenhua) in China and Japan. | ||||||
