lushan_photo_1 (30K) Lu Shan's penname is Yi Feng. He was born in 1939 and is currently a member of Zhong Nan Hai Zi Guang Ge Calligraphy Association. His style of cursive script is quite unique and exhibits a feeling akin to abstract painting. Thick, wet strokes mixed with small, thin ones create an overall patterning that truly pleases the eye.

Translation of "Seeing Meng Haoran Off" ( 送 孟 浩 然 之 廣 陵), a poem by Li Bai—a.k.a. Li Po, Li T'ai Po—701-762 C.E., Tang Dynasty:

My old friend, leaving west,
bid farewell at Yellow Crane Tower,
among misty blossoms of the third month,
goes down to Yangzhou.

His lone sail going farther and father
vanishes into the azure skies,
now only the Long River is flowing
to the edge of Heaven.

故 人 西辭 黃 鶴 樓
煙 花 三 月 下 揚 州
孤 帆 遠 影 碧 空 盡
惟 見 長 江 天 際 流
