Chunhuagetie is the collected album of stone-carved 
calligraphy masterpieces, commissioned by the Song 
Dynasty Emperor Tai Zong. This is a calligraphic copy 
of Chunhuagetie with a landscape scene depicted between 
the writings. The Chunhuagetie served as a textbook 
that was copied by aspiring scholars as a part of 
calligraphy exercises. Combining the copy of such a classic 
text with the landscapes and attempting to absorb the old 
styles of writing and the old masters'painting techniques 
at the same time convey clearly the desire to emulate the 
classics in both calligraphy and painting.
