Interpretation:
Please use the poem of Zheng Gongsan, a scholar, on the page. I’m glad to have the book paid on the first or second day. Last night, Yao Fu had a drink at his place, and he also had some bad works, begging for peace. New Year’s greetings. Take care of old friends
The collection includes: “Taoist Anshan”, “Gu Song”, “Zhi An Tang Book Seal”, “Zeng Zang Zhou Zuo Min Office”, “Zhang Heng Private Seal”, etc
This is a short letter from Nie Danian to “Congli old friend”. Although only a few words, it reflects a certain life situation of Nie Danian – reading and making friends, singing poetry and wine, which can be seen from Nie Danian’s life as a scholar. The calligraphy is naturally beautiful. Although the dots and strokes are casual, they have the broad and gentle style of Li Yong of the Tang Dynasty, which shows Nie’s profound artistic skill of learning from the ancient method.
