Exhibition Statement
Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky
Rushing into the sea and ne'er come back?
Do you not see the mirror bright in chamber high
Grieve o'er your snow-white hair that once was silken back?
When hopes are won, oh, drink your fill in high delight
And never leave your wine cup empty in moonlight!
Heaven has made us talents; we're not made in vain
A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again
(Corpus from Invitation to Wine, by Li Bai 701-762 AD. Translator: Xu Yuanchong)
君不见黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回。 君不见高堂明镜悲白发，朝如青丝暮成雪。
人生得意须尽欢，莫使金樽空对月。 天生我材必有用，千金散尽还复来。
[唐] 李白《将进酒》

Throughout, the meadow is covered in grass;
Each year it withers and each year it thrives.
Fire burns the field, but not in full;
Spring winds blow it back to life again.
Invading far along the ancient paths,
The jeweled green extends through ruined towns.
Now I send you off to go away...
Laden with flowing grass and parting thoughts.
(Corpus from Farewell on the Ancient Grassy Plains by Bai Juyi 772-846 AD, Translator: Frank Watson)
離離原上草
一歲一枯榮
野火燒不盡
春風吹又生
遠芳侵古道
晴翠接荒城
又送王孫去
萋萋滿別情

A white horse gallops in its golden gear
As if in flight to north western frontier
Who is the cavalier in hurry great?
A gallant hero of the northern state.
(Corpus from Song of the White Horse by Cao Zhi 1037-1101 AD, translator unknow)
白马饰金羁，连翩西北驰。
借问谁家子，幽并游侠儿。

Can't you see? Can't you see? Now is the time when green should be fresh but the red should be fading.

知否，知否？应是绿肥红瘦。

Ten years have we been parted: The living and the dead—
Hearing no news,
Not thingking
And yet forgetting nothing!
Last night I dreamed I had suddenly returned to our home
And saw you sitting there before the familiar dressing table
We looked at each other in silence
With misty eyes beneath the candle light
(Corpus from A Dream, to the Tune of Chiangch'entse by Su Shi 1037-1101 AD. Translator: Lin Yutang)
⼗年⽣死两茫茫，不思量，⾃难忘。
夜来幽梦忽还乡，⼩轩窗，正梳妆。相顾⽆⾔，惟有泪千⾏。

I cannot come to your grave a thousand miles away
To converse with you and whisper my longings;
And even if we did not meet How would we greet
My weathered face, my hair a frosty white?
(Corpus from A Dream, to the Tune of Chiangch'entse by Su Shi 1037-1101 AD. Translator: Lin Yutang)
千⾥孤坟，⽆处话凄凉。纵使相逢应不识，尘满⾯，鬓如霜。
