Yuanjing Sheng:Couplet in Cursive Script (Cao Shu / 草书)
This piece of artwork is an original creation by Sheng.
This poem is by the Tang Dynasty poet Dai Shulun.
拔翠五云中,擎天不计功。
谁能凌绝顶,看取日升东。
Amidst the five green clouds, soaring without counting the achievements of bearing the sky. Who can ascend to the summit, and witness the sunrise in the east.
The poem expresses an extraordinary spirit and great ambition, a desire to conquer all and explore miracles.
