- Physical Description
- This couplet is written in clerical script, an archaic style of Chinese calligraphy originating in the Qin dynasty (221–206 BCE) that became the dominant style of writing in the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). Like seal script, clerical script is highly legible, but it is more calligraphic, with a pronounced, wavelike flaring of isolated major strokes, especially in rightward or downward diagonal strokes.
