Sourced Overview Evidence
This handscroll depicts <em>The Song of the Pipa</em>, a poem by Bai Juyi 白居易 (772–846) written after the poet’s encounter with a <em>pipa </em>player on the Yangzi River. Expelled from her home city when her beauty and fame had faded, she played for the poet at night. Her musical performance and tragic life story resonated with Bai Juyi, who had just been demoted and exiled from life at court himself. The hazy, vast view and pale color tonalities of this painting illustrate these feelings of endless sadness, having lost one’s sense of purpose in life.
