Early Spring is a hanging scroll painting by the artist Guo Xi. Completed in 1072 CE, it is one of the most famous works of Chinese art from the Song Dynasty period.

The work demonstrates his innovative techniques for producing multiple perspectives which he called 'the angle of totality'.

The poem in the upper right corner was added in 1759 by Emperor Qianlong. It reads:

Chinese: 璅寧??潸?皞芷???/ 璅??隞??????銝??惜 / 銝????單???蝬?/ ?亙控?抵?瘞????br/>
