NOTE:
Composed by Du Fu (712-770), The Righteous Falcon (Yi Gu Hang) was a poem praising the
chivalrous bird killing a snake for revenge on behalf of an eagle whose cub was swallowed by the
snake. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, while Fu Shan retreated to the mountains and practised
Taoism, he still supported earnestly the anti-Qing activists. During this time, Fu Shan always
reminded the next generation that continuous improvement is the key for scholar’s academic and
personal development: from small to large, short to long, narrow to wide, angry to calm, abstract
to concrete, undetermined to adamant, immoral to righteous. And through his calligraphy one
can sense his scholar’s ideals and noble character.
Fu Shan employed ‘continuous-cursive’ technique to execute Du Fu’s The Righteous Falcon in
Cursive Script. The brushstrokes of some characters are linked and intertwined, enhancing the
visual effect of this great piece of calligraphy.
