The Dream Journey Over Xiaoxiang painting from 1170 contains 16 colophons added between 1170 and 1924, with the earliest nine written by literati for the Chan monk Yungu Yuanzhao who commissioned the work but had never visited the Xiaoxiang region depicted. The colophons embody Chan Buddhist thought and discuss the relationship between Chan and painting, with later ones by Dong Qichang and the Qianlong Emperor expressing appreciation for owning the piece, and the final one relating how it survived the 1923 Tokyo earthquake fire.

An Analysis of Colophons in the Dream Journey
Over Xiaoxiang (Xiaoxiang woyou tu)
Lofen I
Abstract
Dream Journey Over Xiaoxiang (Xiaoxiang woyou tu) ,
which is in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum, was painted by a
painter surnamed Li (Master Li) for a Chan (Zen) monk, Yungu Yuanzhao
, in about 1170.
In literature and art, the Xiaoxiang landscape culture was created by
the literati, based on the Eight Views of Xiaoxiang, which came to symbolize
exile and reclusion. The Xiaoxiang tradition was also very significant in Chan
Buddhism since the Tang dynasty ci poetry on the theme of the fisherman
was important in the spread of Chan. Thus, the Xiaoxiang theme would have
been meaningful for Yungu Yuanzhao; and since he had never been to
Xiaoxiang, he asked Master Li convey the evocative scenery through a paint-
ing, later inviting numerous literati to appreciate the work.
Dream Journey Over Xiaoxiang has about 16 colophons, added from 1170
to 1924. This paper analyzes these colophons, especially focusing on the nine
written by literati from 1170 to 1171. These colophons, composed especially
for Yungu Yuanzhao, embody Chan thought; and based on them, this paper
discusses the relationship between Chan thought and painting.
In addition to these nine, the colophons of Dong Qichang (1555-
* Lofen I is an associate research fellow in the Institute of Chinese Literature and Philosophy at
Academia Sinica.

1636) and the Qianlong emperor (1711-1799) also showed their apprecia-
tion and pride in owning this painting. The work was saved from the fire after
Tokyo’s 1923 earthquake, and the final colophon, by Naito Konan
(1866-1934), relates the overall story of the Dream Journey Over Xiaoxiang.
