Master Cheng’s Admonition on Seeing, Hearing, Words, and Deeds
Calligrapher Deng Shiru Chinese
Not on view
清 鄧石如 隷書程子視聽言動之箴 四條屏 紙本
In his final years, Deng Shiru’s clerical script took on the character you see here, with thick powerful lines of almost unvarying thickness. This work, made the year Deng died, is a transcription of an eleventh-century text by the Neo-Confucian Cheng Yi (1033–1107).
