Original Running‑Cursive Chinese Calligraphy Artwork by Xiajian Zhang
This one‑of‑a‑kind hand‑brushed calligraphy work is created by contemporary Chinese calligrapher Zhang Xiajian, executed in expressive xingcao (running‑cursive) script on textured handmade xuan rice paper, affixed with the artist’s authentic red seal.
This piece features a classical calligraphy commentary excerpt. Original classical text (Traditional Chinese):
梁武帝使殷鐵石臨右軍書,而此帖有與鐵石共書語,恐非二王書。字亦不甚工,覽者可細辯也。匣劍。
English interpretation:
"Emperor Wu of Liang ordered Yin Tieshi to copy Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy.
Since this scroll contains text referring to writing alongside Yin Tieshi, it is likely not the work of the Two Wangs.
The brushwork is also not finely wrought. Viewers may distinguish this carefully."
Fully framed in A3 size and ready‑to‑hang. It serves as a refined wall decoration for studies and art rooms, and a wonderful collectible for lovers of Chinese calligraphy history and traditional brush art.
