Description

Huang Tingjian originally composed the seven-character poem "Besotted by Flower Vapors" in 1087. It is one of two poems that Huang Tingjian mailed to his friend Wang Gong (王鞏)—who had solicitously gifted flowers to Huang in exchange for a poem—later in the same year.

Around 1100, Huang Tingjian retranscribed the poem onto this work. The brushwork is done in cursive script, but it also contains elements of semi-cursive script.

Inscriptions

The fragrance of blossoms incense me to break meditation,
even for someone like me past middle years.
And of poetic thoughts in spring,
they are not unlike a boatman going upstream at Eight-knot Shoals.

花氣薰人欲破禪，
心情其實過中年。
春來詩思何所似，
八節灘頭上水船。
Notes

The other poem that Huang Tingjian (not depicted) sent to Wang Gong reads:

"Wang Shen keeps sending me poems for a response. I do not feel like composing. That rascal now pressures me with flowers. So I jest."
「王晉卿（詵）數送詩來索和，老嬾不喜作，此曹狡猾，又頻送花來促詩，戲答。」
