This writing is related to the regular script style of Emperor Gaozong (r. 1127\u201362) but is quite different from that of Emperor Lizong (r. 1224\u201364). The closest stylistic comparison is a transcription of the Diamond Sutra by the Song courtier Zhang Jizhi (1186\u20131266) written in the same large regular script and dated 1246. While no extant work by Guangzong is known, this writing may prove to be by his hand. The couplet is taken from the poem New Bamboo by the great Tang writer Han Yu (768\u2013824):[The bamboo's] lofty appearance defies the austerity of autumn,Its chaste color surpasses the lush beauty of spring.(Wen C.
