Interpretation: It’s not settled for guests, but it’s in the middle of the month. Clouds and clear sky, snow and breeze. There are no pedestrians in the suburbs, and there are many canopy in the original river. The cattle return to the village lane, and the wild birds depend on their houses. I have no worries about hunger and cold, and I trust the Lotus Palace. A quiet Zen monk can get rid of dust. Look at Jun Ying’s Quwen, and see how the color of the words blends. You can’t help eulogizing, and suddenly you feel like you are in the air. Youyi Dongye thanks a friend for presenting new poems. Bingyin’s May Book, Xuanzai

This book is written by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, in May of the sixth year (1626), in order to avoid the disaster of the Communist Party of China, during the period of resigning from his post again at the age of 72. The calligraphy of this fan combines the styles of Yan Zhenqing, Mi Fu and Zhao Mengfu. It is a classic work of Dong in his later years.
