Mr. Xie Jie-ru's (謝介如) hand writings constitute the main part of this Chinese calligraphy book. The post remark was written by Wang Bang-shou (王邦綬), who had worked in the Emperor’s Academy (翰林院) in Peking in the late Qing Dynasty, the Xuantong Dynasty (宣統). (A.D. 1909-1911). Wang Bang-shou could have been as a supervisor to teach sons of the famous warlord/politician Yuan Shi-kai (袁世凱). To Wang Bang-shou, the author Raymond Gao shall call him the great-grandfather. Each original sheet looks like a frame-shaped square of 28 x 28 cm, with 8 x 8 character-space. There is a vertical folding line in the middle of the sheet, which divides it into two pages, which were combined into one page in this eBook. There are about a thousand and five hundred beautiful Chinese characters for readers to follow. Four poems by Wen Zhengming in his own writing style were included. Few pages were contributed by Gao's family members. The cover used Johnson Gao's painting in the famous Qi Bai-shi's form. 謝氏書法: 字跡清秀瑰麗。 筆劃恭正無瑕。 疏密配置確當。 次毛幾難挑剔。 裝法勻稱合宜。 入目心曠神怡。 不彷省買一漢堡包的錢, 換購該帖一讀。 Xie's Calligraphy: The handwriting is beautiful and magnificent. The strokes are respectful and flawless. The density configuration is properly arranged. It's hard to pick out bones from an egg. The installation method is well-proportioned and appropriate. It is refreshing to look at and it also nurses your brain. It's better to save the money of buying an hamburger, but to have an exchange for buying and reading this post.
