Subject:Translation of Zhang Daqian painting inscription requested
Posted By: Charo Tue, Jan 05, 2021 IP: 82.217.48.123 This painting is signed by Zhang Daqian (大千居士袁), but I am not sure the work is really by him. Unfortunately, I cannot decipher the inscription. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Posted By: Daohuan Thu, Jan 07, 2021 This poem goes deep in the Daoist beliefs. The first 2 sentences were said to be from certain couplet (心疑骑日月,身已到蓬莱,writings on 2 scrolls or plaques for decor) in Ming Dynasty. The meaning is : heart unease about (the feeling of seemingly) riding the sun and the moon, while the flesh (body) arrived at Penglai mountain. Probably it referred to the scenery in Huang Mountain. Zhang changed its meaning to: relaxing the uneaseness to ride the sun and the moon. Easily arrived at Penglai. The holy deities seemed close to see (may refer to painting 朝元仙杖图 in Song dynasty). With the lotus at hand I came back to Penglai (after wandering or getting lost in mundane life, both lotus and the 归去来 showed up in poems of Tao Yuanming, may get meaning from them, too). |
