Posted By: rat Thu, Jun 29, 2017 These are Chinese, the characters in traditional style, pretty recently made. The one with the bamboo on it is a poem by Southern Song poet Lu You 陆游 about plum blossoms (which because they bloom in late winter are a metaphor for unyielding spirit etc) that is meant to be chanted to the tune of "Song of Divination" 卜算子 |
