Single Scroll 23
This scroll is almost identical to one in the Donnelly collection – see p. 59 of A journey through Chinese hell – which Donnelly attributes to a certain Ho Hsin-yen (b. 1899 or 1900) from Hsin Chu County Donnelly (p. 22) writes, “Ordinary artists were content to paint dull figures on white paper, but Ho Hsin-yen inclined towards vivid hues and believed a colorful background highlighted the message and added artistic value.” Relative to the other scrolls in this collection, the red background of this scroll is indeed striking. While the colors and format are nearly identical, ours fortunately has a great deal more text, mostly about Madame Meng’s tea of forgetfulness.
