8. Zheng Wengong Stele with Elements of Zhong Yao and Bada Shanren - Departing Baidi City at Dawn 《早发白帝城》李白 · Li Bai - Mao Qiao Wen

In this eighth version, the artist draws on the Zheng Wengong Stele and incorporates elements of the brushwork of Zhong Yao and Bada Shanren. The characters are spacious and varied: some strokes land firmly, while others taper into fine lines. Look at how the open space between the three columns lets the poem breathe, even as its boat races downriver.
