5. 魏碑 · Wei Stele Style - Departing Baidi City at Dawn 《早发白帝城》李白 · Li Bai - Mao Qiao Wen

In this fifth version of Li Bai’s Departing Baidi City at Dawn, the artist draws on Wei stele style. The characters have firm, angular strokes and a strong presence, giving the swiftly moving poem an unexpected sense of weight. Look at 山 (mountain) in the left column: its simple, sturdy shape offers a point of comparison with the same character in the earlier works.
