“Selection from Laozi’s Dao De Jing” Miniature Regular Script by Meng Jiaru

Description :
This work features excerpts from Laozi’s Dao De Jing, rendered in refined miniature regular script by Meng Jiaru. The scroll adopts a classical “ancient manuscript” format with a vertical book-layout style and traditional ornamentation. The text is written on a parchment-toned surface, with ornamental borders inspired by antique brocade and red seals complementing the historical elegance.

Meng Jiaru is an acclaimed calligrapher based in Baishan, Jilin Province. He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Baishan Calligraphers Association and Deputy Director of the Baishan City Library. He has been honored as one of “Jilin’s Eight Rising Stars in Youth Calligraphy and Painting” by the Jilin Province Collectors Association. His works have been repeatedly awarded at the provincial level and selected for national exhibitions such as the “Ink Eternal – National Calligraphy and Seal Carving Exhibition.”

This is a unique, unframed, original handwritten work of both spiritual and artistic resonance.

Excerpt Translation (Laozi, Dao De Jing):
“The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth;
The named is the mother of all things…”
