The author of this painting is Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty. Although he is a scholar of Wanli and an official of the Ministry of Rites, his fame spread to later generations is due to his profound accomplishments in the field of painting and calligraphy rather than his official career. Dong Qichang's calligraphy was well deserved in the Ming Dynasty. His cursive script takes "two kings" as the Sect, and also benefits from Yan (Zhenqing), Mi (Yi) and Yang (Ning). Zhao's calligraphy style also influenced him more or less. Dong Qichang is very particular about the pen used in the center, but he can use ink no matter whether it is dry or wet, and he can do his best. His calligraphy is natural, quaint and peaceful, which is not unrelated to his meditation and enlightenment all day long.
