“Autumn Evening in the Empty Mountain” Cursive Script by Wang Minjie

Description :
This dynamic cursive script work by Wang Minjie presents the beloved Tang poem “Autumn Evening in the Empty Mountain” by Wang Wei:

After fresh rain in the quiet mountain,
The evening air turns autumn-cool.
Moonlight shines through pine trees,
Clear spring flows over stones.
Bamboo rustles as washerwomen return,
Lotus stirs as fishing boats depart.
Let spring flowers fade as they may,
The noble lord can stay here still.

The artist’s sweeping brushwork captures the tranquil depth and natural rhythm of this classic landscape poem. Flowing ink lines echo mountain streams and wind through pine—imbuing each character with a poetic resonance. The cursive script style reflects both freedom and restraint, mirroring the poem’s theme of reclusion and harmony with nature.
