Description:
This Li script couplet by Bai Yang from Chengde, Hebei, poetically blends spatial imagery and intellectual pursuit. The right scroll reads: “The floating smoke observatory retains returning guests,” while the left scroll states: “They delight in following the ancient sages’ teachings inscribed on the stelae.” It conveys both hospitality and reverence for tradition.
Bai’s use of the clerical script (Li script) demonstrates strong structural control, with bold strokes and clear ancient stylistic influence. The carving-like brushwork reflects a steady rhythm and classic refinement.
