Hongwu Chinese
Not on view
This album of calligraphy preserves poems composed for the Manchu bannerman and military official Fukang’an (1748–1796), referred to here by his sobriquet Jingzhai, by Hongwu, an artistically minded imperial clansman and first cousin of the Qianlong emperor. Writing in a fluid hand close in style to that of his cousin Qianlong, Hongwu extols the valor of Fukang’an and his forces in quelling a rebellion against Qing rule that took place from 1787 to 1788 in Taiwan.
