This one‑of‑a‑kind hand‑brushed calligraphy work is created by contemporary calligrapher Zhang Xiajian, executed in expressive xingcao (running‑cursive) script on textured handmade rice paper.
The brushwork is unrestrained and dynamic, capturing the casual tone of an ancient literary note. The original classical text reads (Traditional Chinese):
今日晨起，減衣，得頭風病，然亦不甚也。取劉君壯輿文編讀之，失疾所在。曹公所云，信非虛語。然陳琳豈能及君耶？
English interpretation:
"I rose this morning, removed some layers of clothing, and came down with a headache, though it is not severe. I took up Lord Liu Zhuangyu’s literary anthology to read, and forgot all about my ailment. What Lord Cao once said is truly no empty remark. Even Chen Lin could hardly match this gentleman’s gifts."
This artwork arrives framed to standard A3 size, ready‑to‑hang. A wonderful decorative piece for studies, home offices and oriental‑style interiors, and a collectible for lovers of traditional Chinese brush art.
