Source Description
Shen Zengzhi was an administrator, historian, poet, and calligrapher with a highly individual style. His poem reads:I think of flower petals falling into the clear water of the river,Lingering there in the east as if there was all the time in the world.The river becomes excited.At nightfall the ducks return.There's a ferryman's boat in the vast landscape,As the sun descends behind autumn hills.Far away, in the dusk, boats are sailing.I return home, relaxed and content.
