I wrote this piece in a tranquil April afternoon, when the weather was cloudy and humid — not a suitable day for outdoor ventures. The calligraphy is adapted from 朱熹’s work 勸學詩 偶成 , an encouraging poem that advises people to cherish youth and emphasizes the importance of disciplined learning.
朱熹 (宋朝)
少年易老學難成,一寸光陰不可輕。
未覺池塘春草夢,階前梧葉已秋聲。
