After the Wutai Poem Case, Su Shih was banished to Huang Zhou wherein he spent his third Cold Food Festival in 1082, and composed two 'Cold Food Observance Festival' Poems. Su Shih expressed his profound sorrow in his 'Cold Food Observance Festival' Poems. His distinctive calligraphy skills whereby the poems were written were greatly appreciated by a renowned calligrapher in the Yuan dynasty, Xian Yu Shu, who honored Su Shih's 'Cold Food Observance Festival' Manuscript as one of the three running script calligraphy masterpieces. This paper discusses the meaning of the Colophon by Huang Ting-jian for Su Shih's 'Cold Food Observance Festival' Manuscript, providing an interpretation that differs from the three usual explanations by the academia. With his extensive knowledge of Zen, Huang Ting-jian could have used the Zen's way of expression to appraise Su Shih's Manuscript, revealing his great reverence for Su Shih.
