Abstract
The exchange of painting and calligraphy as gifts was a rooted tradition among the scholarly artists in East Asian literary culture. This paper will consider how Chinese artists were obliged to write comments and adding illustrations for farewell paintings as part of their social network. Taking modern Chinese painters who engaged with the Sino-Japanese artistic exchanges as examples, this paper will investigate the custom of gift making concerning the socialising media and the formation of modern intellectual culture.
