Calligraphy of China. У Calligraphy has its own law. |
 |
The splendid clouds are flowing beneath my sleeve and brush, the red down is emerging on paper through the ink. |
 |
The wind is singing in the swaying top of the old tree, just like an instrument, the Moon is shifting the perfumed flower shadow along the windowpane. |
 |
For one hundred thousands years, the Mei flower and the orchid have been in bloom in our hearts, for one hundred thousand years, the cypress and the pine have stayed fresh in our dreams. |
 |
We reconcile the harshness and the softness, enclosing both the tenderness and the strength. |
 |
Rejecting the avidity, one gets worthy of honor, rejecting the betrayal, one displays heroism. |
 |
The head is broken, but the stem still proudly keeps upright, the petals falling down stay fragrant. |
 |
The red Mei flowers on the snow are opening, exhaling fragrance, and their soft petals have no fear of winds or snows – this is the Beauty. |
