Zhao Mengfu Writing the Heart (Hridaya) Sutra in Exchange for Tea, 1542-43. Creator
Zhao Mengfu Writing the Heart (Hridaya) Sutra in Exchange for Tea, 1542-43. The Yuan dynasty calligrapher Zhao Mengfu (1254-1322) is said to have transcribed the Heart Sutra for a certain priest named Li in exchange for tea. Later, during the Ming dynasty, the professional painter Qiu Ying from Suzhou painted this scene for his patron. Here, Zhao Mengfu holds a brush and has a piece of paper laid out before him. On the table is an ink stone, an ink stick, and a small water dropper. Drops of water would dissolve the ink stick into liquid ink when it was ground on the flat square stone

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in Chinese history, depicting the renowned Yuan dynasty calligrapher Zhao Mengfu transcribing the Heart Sutra for Priest Li in exchange for tea. Created by Qiu Ying during the Ming dynasty, this painting beautifully portrays Zhao Mengfu's dedication to his craft. In the image, Zhao Mengfu sits at a table with a brush in hand and paper laid out before him. The tools of his trade are meticulously arranged nearby – an ink stone, an ink stick, and a small water dropper. These items were essential for grinding the ink stick into liquid ink with drops of water. This scene not only showcases Zhao Mengfu's artistic process but also highlights the cultural significance of tea as a valuable commodity during that time period. Tea was highly prized and sought after, making it an appropriate offering in exchange for such exquisite calligraphy. Qiu Ying masterfully brings this historical event to life through his skilled brushwork and delicate use of light colors on paper. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both the physicality of Zhao Mengfu's actions and the ambiance of the setting. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to China's rich artistic heritage and offers viewers a glimpse into one artist's dedication to his craft amidst an era defined by cultural exchange and appreciation.
