Explanation and translation of Wang Duo’s cursive poems

The explanation of Wang Duo's cursive poem is as follows:

Looking at Beishan in the middle of the capital, Cang Cang gets the key. Every time I stay in the monk's house, I look out over this scene. The sound of people has stopped, and everyone is worried. There is nothing in the Zen forest, and the trees are quiet and quiet. The silence seems to be together, and the white clouds flow into the evening shadows. Leaving home on this mountain, there are relatively few scenic spots. I can't speak for my life, and I suddenly feel lost while sitting deeply. This volume contains six self-composed poems. The first inscription is "Junxuannian's brother Wengfen sent six poems to Nankang" and the last inscription is "Ji Mao's first month of the year and brother Wang Duo's grass". On the left are the seals "Wang Duo's Seal" and "Yantan Yusou". "Jimao" is the twelfth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1639), when Wang Duo was 47 years old. This painting has no hidden seal and no record.

Huo Changyun, a recent scholar from Ma Zong, said: "People in the Ming Dynasty all use cursive writing to gain momentum by using vertical strokes. If they are vertical, they can be restrained. Therefore, if the momentum is not extreme and the momentum is not exhausted, it is not possible for those who have more than enough strength." This is what Yi said."

Wang Duo's cursive writing is not heavy-handed, but expressive and natural. The calligraphy strokes in this volume are continuous. Although there are not many words connected together, the strokes are broken and the meaning is connected. The Qi is flowing through and the writing is smooth. This volume was written when Wang Duo was in his middle age, which was the period when his calligraphy style was forming. Therefore, it has a green and majestic style, "with the beauty of double wells and heaven", and is a typical work of Wang's middle age period.
