Chen Shidao's Poem - 十七日觀潮

Chen Shidao (陳師道, 1053-1101) was known for both his prose and his poetry, studying under Huang Tingjian and modelling his poetry on that of Du Fu. Both Su Shi and Zhu Xi admired his writings. 

Below is a calligraphy of one of his poems, 十七日觀潮:

十七日觀潮  ·【宋】陳師道   

漫漫平沙走白虹，
瑤台失手玉杯空。
晴天搖動清江底，
晚日浮沉急浪中。

潮頭初出海門山，
千裏平沙轉麵間。
猶有江神憐北客，
欲將奇觀破衰顏。

Tao Calligraphy Symbol

Tao or Dao (Chinese: 道), is a Chinese concept

signifying 'way', 'path', or sometimes more loosely, 

''doctrine' or 'principle', or as a verb, speak.
Taoism is a philosophical and religious tradition that
emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao.
In Taoism, however, Tao denotes something that is both
the source and the driving force behind everything that exists.
