Leading the season with an extraordinary result, this masterpiece proudly stands as the most expensive work sold across the entire Spring Auctions. This exceptional handscroll from our Grand View evening sale showcased the brilliant technique of Da Xieyi, a style that prioritizes โ€spirit over formal likeness.โ€œ

Do you notice the subtle nuances of the brushwork between the different types of paper?

Look closely and youโ€˜ll see that, in the first four sections, the highly absorbent paper demanded rapid, sweeping strokes. Xu Weiโ€™s brush moves like a storm, capturing the raw, spontaneous energy of breaking waves and bursting pomegranates before the ink could bleed. In the last and longest section, which used a semi-sized paper, the ink settled more deliberately. The slower absorption allowed for deliberate, velvet-like tonal gradients across the banana leaves, bringing the handscroll to its visual climax.

As a pioneer of Da Xieyi, Xuโ€™s untamed style influenced and inspired countless subsequent painters, undoubtedly changing the course of Chinese art history.

This is the second painting in a highly prestigious, ten-panel narrative suite titled Paintings Inspired by Fan Chengdaโ€™s poetry โ€œTen Ballads of Fields and Villages in the Twelfth Month.โ€

Commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor, the project brought together ten of the eraโ€˜s most talented imperial painters, royal family members, and court officials. Each artist was assigned a poem by the famous Southern Song Dynasty poet, Fan Chengda.

Shen masterfully executed the commission, balancing meticulous jiehua architectural precision with fluid brushwork to animate hundreds of lively miniature figures. The dynamic scene captures everything from youth-led dragon dances to bustling market stalls. Crowned with the Qianlong Emperorโ€™s own imperial inscription in the upper register, its prestige is unmatched. This lot offers a rare, monumental opportunity to acquire a masterpiece of direct imperial provenance.

Jin Nong is widely celebrated for his highly unique approach to Chinese calligraphy. He drew inspiration from the rugged, weathered characters carved into ancient stone monuments to invent his iconic โ€œLacquer Scriptโ€, a rule-breaking style defined by striking contrast.

Look closely to see the visual drama playing out in the ink. His horizontal strokes are thick, flat, and squared-off, mimicking heavy layers of lacquer to give the piece a monumental, timeless strength. He masterfully balances this weight with elegant vertical lines that taper into sharp points, occasionally letting the brush run dry to leave a textured scratch of white paper showing through.

The result is a powerful masterpiece that finds a deep, monumental beauty in the intentionally unpolished. We invite you to view this historic work in person at our upcoming Spring Auctions in Beijing.

Fu Lei, a visionary art critic and scholar, achieved what the rest of the art world could not: he decoded the โ€black, dense, and heavyโ€œ style of Huang Binhongโ€™s work. While others saw only ink-drenched chaos, Fu Lei recognized a revolutionary bridge between tradition and modernism.

In 1943, to honor this rare intellectual resonance, the 80-year-old Master Huang presented the 35-year-old critic with a profound gift, the Twelve Views of Mount Qingcheng. This was more than a gesture of friendship; it was a master conferring his legacy upon the critic who had finally articulated his pursuit of the โ€Universal Taoโ€œ through the interplay of โ€The Selfโ€œ and โ€The Non-Self.โ€œ

Preserved by Fu Leiโ€™s family for over half a century, this album stands as the ultimate testament to a rare convergence, when Huang Binhongโ€™s art met its deepest resonance.

Witness the Twelve Views of Mount Qingcheng, the 1943 gift from Huang Binhong to Fu Lei, at the China Guardian 2026 Spring Auctions.

In the world of connoisseurship, an object becomes a witness to history. This Yuan Dynasty Goose-Shaped She Inkstone tells a story spanning seven centuries.

It began when Wang Xizhi famously traded his calligraphy for geese; the bird has come to embody scholarly refinement. Here, with remarkable economy of line, the sculpted form transforms stone into a composed, almost sentient presence upon the scholarโ€™s desk.

The lithic material is fashioned from the rare โ€Golden Starโ€œ She stone from Longwei Mountain, a relic of a vanished era. After these legendary mines suffered a catastrophic collapse in 1354, the supply of such high-quality stone was lost forever, making this an exceptionally rare period piece.

Its provenance is equally illustriousโ€”once a crown jewel of Bando Kunzanโ€™s โ€œNumber One Inkstone Studio,โ€ exhibited at the Tokyo National Museum since 1951, and recorded in major publicationsโ€”this piece stands as a masterwork that has endured through time.
