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。

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.

Calligraphy #8 - Poem by Yang Wanli

A calligraphy writing of Wang Suvit of a poem written by

Yang Wanli (or Yang Wan-Li, 楊萬里; 1127–1206) who was a 

Chinese poet, born in Jiangxi. 

He was one of the "four masters" of Song Dynasty poetry.

Written during the final exile of the Song to Hangzhou, 

Yang Wanli's poems celebrate the beauties and

mysteries of nature, flora and fauna, much as the famed Song painters did. 

But they also querulously and wittily illuminate the annoyances and

pleasures of everyday life. Wikipedia.org

回鄉偶書二首 【唐】賀知章

少小離家老大回，

鄉音無改鬢毛衰。

兒童相見不相識，

笑問客從何處來。

離別家鄉歲月多，

近來人事半消磨。

惟有門前鏡湖水，

春風不改舊時波。

Translations:

On Returning Home

Young when he left home to become a man when returning home, 
although there is no change in the local accent, but there are sparse hair graying temples.
Met the children but we don't know each other,
they treated me like a guest, smiled and asked me where I came from.

Parting home has been for a long time, 
to go home after that great changes have taken place in the hometown.

Only in front of the Mirror Lake's clear water,
in the spring breeze, that still look like in the old days.

只緣身在此山中。
