| Morning Court at Daming Palace |
| Jia Zhi 718-772 Silver lanterns light the sky along imperial streels In spring forbidden walls turn bright green at dawn Countless hanging catkins veil the painted gates A hundred twittering orioles encircle Jianzhang Court The sounds of swords and pendants echo up jade steps Every robe and hat is lined with incense soot And bathed in waves of grace at Phoenix Pond And daily stained with ink in the service of our lord  |
'A painter should study the stains on walls.'
