Eight poems on yellow ridge in semicursive and cursive script, xong tingbi (1596-1625)

Asian Art Museum Curator, Joseph Chang, reads an excerpt from Eight Poems on Yellow Ridge in semicursive and cursive script, Xong Tingbi (1596-1625). Translation: It's been called 'Lotus Terrace' now for years innumerable; And round the terrace, fields upon fields of lotus leaves are seen. The slightest breeze wafts floating fragrance from the other shore, While setting sunlight in clear waters plays with emerald green. —Lotus Blossom Terrace. This work will be on view at the Asian Art Museum as part of the exhibition, 'Out of Character: Decoding Chinese Calligraphy'
