宋 徽宗: 瑞鶴圖
Emperor Hui-tsung : Auspicious Cranes
徽宗（1082－1135），本名趙佶，北宋最後皇帝，自己擅長書畫，尤善花鳥畫，形成了瘦金書。他雖然難以說是賢帝，但是在藝術的方面，確立了畫院制度，為提高藝術，文化做出了偉大的貢獻。此圖之中，所描繪的陰曆－－二年－月十六日黃昏，汴京的宮殿上，突然蓋上了紫雲，出現了二十隻丹頂鶴，好像合著天上之樂飛舞的情景，徽宗三十一歲時所作，是至精作品。

Hui-tsung (1082-1135), whose real name was Chao Chi, was the last emperor of the Northern Sung dynasty. He was a talented calligrapher and painter, especially excelling in bird-and-flower paintings and formulating the shou-chin ( "slender gold" ) style of calligraphy. Although he was not renowned as a statesman, he contributed exceedingly to the arts and culture by establishing the Painting Academy at the court. ( Collection of the Liaoning Provincial Museum )
