Yang Yisun, Calligraphy Couplet in Running Script
This calligraphic couplet by Yang Yisun, a prominent 19th century Chinese scholar and calligrapher, showcases the fluid dynamism of running script executed in ink on paper as a pair of hanging scrolls. The work exemplifies the literati tradition of combining refined brushwork with poetic expression, characteristic of the Qing dynasty's continued reverence for classical calligraphic forms. Yang's confident hand control and rhythmic stroke variations demonstrate his mastery of this semi cursive script, where characters flow together while remaining legible.
