Скачать или смотреть Fishing for the Moon Shen Zhou and the Literati Ideal in a Ming Dynasty Handscroll

This video explores Diao Yue Pavilion (Fishing for the Moon), a Ming dynasty handscroll traditionally attributed to Shen Zhou, the founding master of the Wu School of painting. Though visually restrained, the scroll brings together painting, poetry, calligraphy, and moral reflection into a unified literati world.

Through a close reading of Zhu Yunming’s prose inscription and the poetic colophons by leading figures of the Wu region, we examine how the image of fishing for the moon becomes a metaphor for filial devotion, future retreat, and inner refinement. Preserved today in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, this handscroll invites slow viewing and quiet contemplation, offering a glimpse into the intellectual and emotional life of Ming dynasty scholars.
