Draft poem for seeing off Lin Jun (1452–1527)
Wen Peng Chinese
Ming dynasty (1368–1644)
Wen Peng was the son of Wen Zhengming, the leading cultural figure in Suzhou during the mid-Ming dynasty. Growing up in a home of wealth and discernment, Wen Peng was privileged to learn calligraphy and painting from the best teachers and to study directly from ancient masterworks in his father’s collection. This is a draft of a poem that Wen Peng wrote for one of his father’s friends; here, he has written it out for another person, identified by the nickname Sizhi, in the hopes of receiving helpful feedback on the composition.
