  • couplet the temple of yu the great running script hanging scroll zhao puchu 1986 ink paper

Zhao Puchu wrote this couplet for the Yu Mausoleum, which is now hung in the Temple of Yu the Great as one of the four couplets. Standardized and graceful wording is used to convey profound meaning in this couplet, and the calligraphy features a steady and neat manner, articulated through wide, thick-ink brushstokes and angled construction of character posture. The calligraphic expression conveys the text properly. Zhao created the work in the winter of 1986 when he was eighty.
