Description:
In 1082, Su Shi and his friends went boating twice to visit Chibi (Huanggang County, Hubei Province). Later, he wrote two pieces of “Chibi Fu”, describing what he saw and felt. With beautiful words and profound philosophy, Su Shi is an important masterpiece in the history of literature. In the second year, I wrote this volume for my friends, which is the only existing calligraphy of Red Cliff Fu. The brushwork is steady, the ink color is clear and smooth, and it looks peaceful and harmonious, which is very consistent with the broad-minded outlook on life expressed in poetry and prose.
