Gu Hongzhong

Gu Hongzhong (; 937–975) was a Chinese painter during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of Chinese history.

Gu was active until 960 CE and was most likely a court painter of the Southern Tang dynasty during the reign of Li Yu. His most well-known work is the Night Revels of Han Xizai. Gu's original no longer exists, but the painting survives as a 12th-century remake during the subsequent Song dynasty. The painting is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.

Night Revels of Han Xizai The Night Revels of Han Xizai is a painted scroll depicting Han Xizai, a minister of Li Yu. Another is that Han Xizai repeatedly missed early-morning audiences with the emperor because of his revelry, fondness of drinking and banquets with friends, and needed to be shamed into dignified behavior. Instead of a painting like the original, it is a photograph. The artwork uses contemporary costume and references to comment on current Chinese culture.
