Zhang Xian (poet)
Zhang Xian (Chinese: 张先; pinyin: Zhāng Xiān; 990–1078) was a Song Dynasty artist in China.
He created Ten Odes based on Zhang Wei's own "ten beloved poems written on white silk." [1]
Zhang Xian's Illustrating Ten Poems (Shiyong tu) (Song dynasty) now are in the Palace Museum collection.
According to the Chinese Tour Guide website:
| “ | They were spirited out of the palace by Puyi on the excuse of bestowing them on his brother Pujie; they fell into the hands of others and it was not until the 1990s were they returned to their rightful place in the Palace Museum collections.[2] | ” |
