“Chen Lan Scroll” Cursive Script by Li Wei

This original calligraphy work by Li Wei is a tracing of Mi Fu’s “Chen Lan Scroll” (《陈揽帖》), composed in elegant cursive script on subtly aged-style xuan paper. Mi Fu, a renowned Song Dynasty calligrapher, left behind a rich tradition of expressive letter-style works, and this excerpt demonstrates both emotional nuance and historical depth.

As a Cultural Exchange Chairman of Yu JIAN Academy and a University of Rochester alumna with dual Master's degrees in Management and Information Science, Li Wei embodies both academic rigor and refined artistry. Trained in Liu-style regular script from a young age, she later flourished in cursive and running script under the mentorship of Sun Wenjia. Her works have been widely exhibited in North America, Asia, and beyond.

This is a unique, unframed, original handwritten piece, offering insight into literati correspondence and Song Dynasty elegance.

Excerpt Translation (from Mi Fu):
"Yesterday I visited Chen Lan and saw the deer enclosure. The bamboo grove was elegant. After leaving, we agreed to meet again. Among those of the same era, there is none with whom I converse so freely. If fate allows, let us meet again in the capital. This humble abode awaits your honorable visit."
