Sun Hao1980 Born in Shandong Province2005 Graduated from the Chinese Painting Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts as a master, majoring in materials and expressionNow working for the Beijing Institute of Graphic Design Art InstituteThe integration between ink art and modeling originated in the “renovation of traditional Chinese painting” in the 20th century, and later acquired an important position in the educational system of the Chinese painting after the founding of the New China. Sun Hao, who graduated from Luxun Academy of Fine Arts with a Bachelor Degree and later pursued further education in the Studio of Materials and Expression at China Central Academy of Fine Arts, is the one that makes better combination between the form and structure of sketching and the spirituality of ink painting. The most known works of Sun Hao in recent years are his series of horse portraits. In addition to eyes, noses and ears of horses, Sun also carefully illustrated the blood vessels on the face, which is the part other horse painters have ignored. Sun believes that there is a hidden horse in the heart of everybody. He therefore has endowed the horses in his work with strong spirits, either tranquil or elated, making them fairies waiting for brightness in the dark night. Sun loves things that are related to darkness as he believes that brightness and darkness are of equal importance, none of which is dispensable. The line “the dark night gave me dark eyes, with which I pursue brightness” from Chinese poet Gu Cheng is his favorite. Seeking the bright heroism in darkness is a commonly seen theme in Sun’s creation. And compared to lines, Sun prefers to use light and shadows to outline the form, and usually starts from the dark part and then moves to the light area. Ink painting has boundless possibilities i f we want to innovate the traditional Chinese painting. This is what has been motivating Sun Hao to explore in this field. Having noticed the advantage of ink that can be used to create both volume and abstraction, Sun has been trying ink to paint the marble statues of ancient Greece and Rome, and the Buddhist statues of ancient China and India. Gandhara with both oriental and western features and the Buddhist statues of the Northern Qi Dynasty unearthed in Qingzhou of Shandong Province in East China are his favorite subjects. The freely flowing ink can best illustrate the corrosion of stone. In the bustling discussion of ink art in the past year, the key word for Sun is “tranquility”, which can be seen in his recent series “None”. These works have a soothing effect to the viewers, as it occurred to them that everything is silent, mysterious, spiritual and beautiful. —Ruan Jingjing

Sun Pengzu: The Tragic Emperor and Master of Brush

Sun Pengzu, more commonly known as Sun Hao (243 – January or February 284), was a figure inextricably linked to the twilight years of the Eastern Wu dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. Born into a lineage steeped in imperial ambition, he ascended to the throne amidst a yearning for stability and experience—a desire tragically unmet by his own capabilities. His reign, though brief, became a symbol of decline, ultimately contributing to the empire’s swift fall. Yet, beyond the political turmoil, Sun Hao was also a skilled artist, leaving behind a small but significant body of work that offers glimpses into his personality and artistic sensibilities.

Initially named Sun Pengzu (彭祖), he was born into a family with imperial connections, the son of Sun He, a prince who had been sidelined by court politics. This early experience of marginalization profoundly shaped his worldview. Following the death of Emperor Jing in 264, driven by popular sentiment and a perceived need for an older ruler to guide Wu through turbulent times, he was thrust onto the throne. However, this elevation proved disastrous. Sun Hao lacked the strategic acumen, political finesse, and administrative skills necessary to govern effectively. He indulged in extravagant displays of wealth, prioritized personal pleasures over state affairs, and surrounded himself with sycophants who shielded him from reality.

Sun Hao’s artistic talent was evident early on. He received a thorough education, mastering the traditional arts of calligraphy, painting, and poetry. His most famous works are believed to be “Hero Song” (英雄歌) and “Martial Attire” (武衣), both rendered in meticulous pencil shading and hatching—a technique that emphasized texture and detail. "Martial Attire," depicting a horse with remarkable realism and symbolic weight, is particularly noteworthy for its use of grayscale tones to evoke a sense of mythic grandeur and the power of nature. The painting’s composition suggests a connection to Daoist philosophy, emphasizing harmony and balance—a stark contrast to the chaos that characterized his reign.

A Reign of Excess and Decline

Sun Hao's rule was marked by a series of disastrous decisions. He ignored the counsel of experienced officials, continued military campaigns against weakened enemies without strategic planning, and squandered the empire’s resources on lavish projects like the Zhaoming Palace. The constant drain on the treasury exacerbated Wu’s economic woes, while his cruelty and arbitrary justice alienated potential allies and fueled resentment among the populace. The fall of Shu Han in 263 further destabilized the situation, creating a power vacuum that Sun Hao was ill-equipped to fill. His inability to effectively respond to these challenges ultimately sealed Wu's fate.

Legacy and Historical Context

Following the Jin dynasty’s conquest of Wu in 280, Sun Hao surrendered and was given the title Marquis of Wucheng (烏程侯), a recognition of his former status. After the Jin forces captured him, he was further demoted to Marquis Guiming (歸命侯) – literally “the marquis who resigns to his fate” – a poignant reflection of his downfall. Later, he became known as the Later Lord of Wu (吳後主) and the Last Emperor of Wu (吳末帝), titles used by historians to underscore his role as the final representative of a once-proud dynasty.

Sun Hao’s story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of incompetence, vanity, and a disconnect from reality. While he is remembered primarily for his disastrous reign, his artistic legacy offers a glimpse into the man behind the emperor—a skilled artist who, despite his flaws, possessed a keen eye for detail and an appreciation for beauty. His “Martial Attire” remains a testament to his talent, a poignant reminder of a lost empire, and a window into the complex world of Three Kingdoms art.

Artistic Influences and Techniques

Sun Hao’s artistic style reflects a blend of traditional Wu styles with elements of Daoist aesthetics. The meticulous pencil shading and hatching techniques employed in works like “Martial Attire” are reminiscent of the Northern Song dynasty, particularly the work of artists who emphasized realism and texture. The use of grayscale tones also suggests an influence from Buddhist art, where monochrome palettes were often used to convey a sense of solemnity and spiritual depth. Furthermore, his artistic output demonstrates a deep understanding of symbolism—particularly in “Martial Attire,” where the horse represents strength, power, and the connection between humanity and nature.
