Description:
This elegant running script couplet by Li Wei, Cultural Exchange Chair of Yujian Academy, captures a poetic vision of harmony between nature and the cosmos:
“Clear water allows fish to read the moon;
Tranquil mountains permit birds to converse with the sky.”
Executed in expressive xingshu (running script), the work demonstrates balance and lyrical movement, allowing the poetic line to flow with visual rhythm. The spacing, brush energy, and emotional restraint give the piece an immersive stillness — a meditation on inner peace through the lens of landscape.
