This paper examine the Imperial Brush 御筆 and Imperial Brush Hand-drafted Edicts 御筆手詔, focusing on their styles and political implications under the rule of Song Huizong 宋徽宗. It argues that Imperial Brush and Imperial Brush Hand-drafted Edicts originated from Inner Comments 內批 and Hand-drafted Edicts 手詔 respectively, which were two routine ways for emperors to issue their orders. Both Imperial Brush and Imperial Brush Hand-drafted Edict differed from their predecessor in the appearance of the documents rather than the order-issuing procedures. Therefore, they highlighted the emperorship by embedding Emperor Huizong's personal characteristics into the routine operation of the Song government documents. |
