Xiao Nian’s calligraphy works: Wen Zhengming’s “Quiet Mountains and Long Days”.
Calligraphy: Tang Zixi's poem says: The mountains are as quiet as ancient times, and the days are as long as a young year. Deep in the mountains of Yu's family, at the turn of spring and summer, the steps are covered with moss, the paths are full of fallen flowers, and there are no peeling or pecking doors. , pine shadows are uneven, and the sound of birds is rising and falling. After taking a nap at the end of the afternoon, I swam from the mountain spring, picked up pine branches, and boiled bitter tea to sip.
Take a leisurely walk on the mountain path, caress the pine and bamboo trees, and crouch with the elk calves in the long forest and lush grass. Sit in the flowing spring, rinse your teeth and wash your feet. After returning to the bamboo window, the mountain wife and her children made bamboo shoots and ferns and offered wheat and rice, happily eating their fill. In the pen window, he made several crosses according to the size, and displayed the hidden ink scrolls to look at them. When the mood strikes, recite a short poem, or one or two paragraphs of grass jade dew, and cook a cup of bitter tea.
When I went out by the stream, I met an old man named Weng Xisou from the garden. He asked about mulberry and hemp, and talked about rice and rice. If people can truly understand this wonderful thing, then Dongpo said: Just sit quietly for two days with nothing to do. If you live seventy, you will be one hundred and forty, and you will gain so much! In the second month of the spring of Jiajing, the book was written in Yulan Hall.
