It is a 34 x 119.5 cm hand scroll kept by the Taipei Palace Museum. It was written in 1082 when Su Shi was relegated to Huangzhou due to the literary inquisition. Impoverished and depressed, he produced this poem on the cold-food festival. Besides being a painter and calligrapher, Su Shi was one of the most influential poets and essayists during the Song Dynasty (AD960-1279).
