Description:
This work presents a clerical script transcription of “Sun Huaiyue’s Paper Scroll of Chaotic Rocks”, a poem by Wen Tong from the Song Dynasty. The poem celebrates the expressive power and natural force of calligraphy. Xin Laiwan’s rendering retains the strength and vigor of the original while maintaining structural elegance and classical discipline. The bold ink strokes evoke the texture and weight of chaotic stones while harmonizing them with clerical rhythm.
Excerpt Translation:
“Sun, the old master, grasped a curious brush,
Freely sweeping across the paper with abandon.
From start to end, stones piled in chaos,
Each stroke fell with heaviness and grace.
Rough and round, all refined to perfection —
Who would believe such massive force
Could be rolled into a scroll held in one hand?”
