Lin Wooden Tablets (Dunhuang Han Slips)

136 × 35cm

Urgent arrival. Enumeration of names and surnames. The separate section is not crowded. About daily use. I have to study.

I copied a Dunhuang Han bamboo slip onto a half-sheet of paper. The one I chose this time is written with a refined line quality, as if the excess flesh had been scraped away. When copying, I didn't just make it into a flat shape, but varied the length of the lines and the amount of ink to create a piece with movement.
