The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove were a group of third-century scholars who indulged in wine, music, poetry, and metaphysical discussions to keep a safe distance from the perilous political arena of the period. Fascinated with this subject, Fu Baoshi created several pictorial interpretations in different formats throughout his lifetime, which was likewise politically tumultuous. In this intimate fan format, they are depicted in the same loose but effective manner as the bamboo setting, thereby suggesting their affinity with nature.
