lep Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:27 PM Author Report Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:27 PM oh! Nice! going to further try to find that poem... cheers! Quote
889 Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:34 PM Report Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:34 PM Google Translation gives the flavour. But scroll down to "Translation" in the text. https://baike.baidu.com/item/游黄山记/23440889 1 Quote
Jim Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:46 PM Report Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:46 PM And Han Yu's 师说 "On Teaching" by the looks of the lid, quick search gave this translation: https://eastasiastudent.net/china/classical/han-yu-shi-shuo-i/ Not exactly fluid on a scan but will give you an idea of the text. Not sure why they'd pair those two pieces, seems a bit random at first blush. 1 Quote
lep Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:50 PM Author Report Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:50 PM here's one more to try to confirm the text! Thank you for your time guys! Quote
Jim Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:54 PM Report Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:54 PM You can see a bit of the text in your first picture mentions the Han Yu work; seems to be commentary or context rather than the work itself in the part that's visible. What with the font and layout it gives the impression of a decal created by copying a printed work. 1 Quote
