• Description:
  Cai Xiang’s “Haiyu Calligraphy” was written at the age of 37. It was written in a cautious and solemn way, and it is a rare small regular script. Su Shi’s “The Second Rhyme of the Book and the Poems of the Three Sages on the Province”, written at the age of 52, is calm, steady and rich in meaning. Huang Tingjian’s Letter to Uncle Ming in the Same Year was written with a round pen, which is strong and graceful. Mi Fu’s “Tao Wei Tie” is a masterpiece of mature calligraphy style. At the age of 49, the book was arranged at will with smooth charm. These four works were mounted into one volume by Li Zongkong, a collector in the early Qing Dynasty, representing the popularity of Jingkou’s calligraphy circle in the early Qing Dynasty.
