"Magpies and Hare" is a colored silk painting created by Northern Song (960-1127) painter Cui Bai. It is also known as "Double Happiness" because "two magpies" in Chinese is a homophone for "two happiness." The title gives off a sense of joy but the painting actually brims with dramatic tension as it portrays two magpies screaming at a trespassing hare. How did the Song artists manage to capture the spirit of wilderness with such accuracy? How did they express such complex emotions and thoughts? Professor Huang Xiaofeng provides insights.
