On Happiness, Calligraphy in Seal Script Style (zhuanshu), 1871. Creator: Yang Yisun (Chinese
On Happiness, Calligraphy in Seal Script Style (zhuanshu), 1871. Yang Yisun transcribed this ancient text on six narrow scrolls, starting at the top right and ending at the bottom left. Yang emphasizes the texts historic nature by using the seal script style found on stone steles and bronze vessels. On Happiness features reflections of a scholar on a leisurely life in the countryside, composed by Han dynasty official Zhongchang Tong, who died the year the Han dynasty collapsed (AD 220). The idyllic life described in the text may bean evocation of the past in a time of national crisis. A decade before Yang wrote these scrolls, Anglo-French forces had looted and burned the Summer Palace in Beijing. At the same time, the domestic Taiping rebellion (1850-64), led by a religious fanatic to overthrow the Qing government, had devastated Yangs homeland, the Jiangnan region, with an estimated 20 million lives lost

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite calligraphy of Yang Yisun's "On Happiness, Calligraphy in Seal Script Style (zhuanshu), 1871". The artist meticulously transcribed this ancient text onto six narrow scrolls, starting at the top right and gracefully ending at the bottom left. In paying homage to history, Yang employed the seal script style typically found on stone steles and bronze vessels. The content of "On Happiness" takes us on a poetic journey through the musings of a scholar immersed in a tranquil life amidst nature. Composed by Han dynasty official Zhongchang Tong, who tragically passed away during the collapse of the Han dynasty in AD 220, this reflective piece may serve as an ode to simpler times during a period of national turmoil. It is important to note that Yang created these scrolls just ten years after witnessing devastating events such as the looting and burning of Beijing's Summer Palace by Anglo-French forces. Simultaneously, his homeland, Jiangnan region, suffered greatly due to the domestic Taiping rebellion led by religious zealots aiming to overthrow Qing government rule. This rebellion resulted in an estimated loss of 20 million lives. Through this photograph print from Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we are reminded not only of Yang Yisun's artistic prowess but also how art can encapsulate historical moments and emotions within its strokes.
