Artwork Interpretation:

Beside the Vermilion Bird Bridge, wild grasses and flowers grow;
At the mouth of Wu Yi Lane, the setting sun slants low.
Swallows that once nested in the halls of the great Wang and Xie families,
Now fly into the homes of ordinary people.

This verse from Liu Yuxi (Tang Dynasty) reflects the rise and fall of great families and the quiet resilience of common people. Sun’s cursive brushwork breathes new life into this philosophical reflection, linking the past to the present with fluid lines and emotional resonance.

Beside the Vermilion Bird Bridge, wild grasses and flowers grow;
朱雀桥边野草花

At the mouth of Wu Yi Lane, the setting sun slants low.
乌衣巷口夕阳斜

Swallows that once nested in the halls of the great Wang and Xie families,
旧时王谢堂前燕

Now fly into the homes of ordinary people.
飞入寻常百姓家
