This unique hand‑brushed calligraphy piece is created by contemporary Chinese calligrapher Zhang Xiajian in expressive xingcao (running‑cursive) script, on textured natural xuan rice paper, finished with the artist’s authentic red seal.
This work presents the world‑famous Tang‑Dynasty poem Quiet Night Thought by Li Bai. Original classical text (Traditional Chinese):
床前明月光，疑是地上霜。舉頭望明月，低頭思故鄉。丙午八月匣劍。
English interpretation:
"Bright moonlight shines before my bed,
I fancy it to be frost upon the ground.
I lift my head and gaze at the bright moon,
Then bow my head, thinking of my hometown."
Delivered fully framed in A3 size, ready‑to‑hang. A timeless decorative piece for studies, bedrooms and oriental‑style interiors, and a wonderful collectible for lovers of Chinese poetry and brush calligraphy.
