This work is a handwritten manuscript by the Taiwanese poet and calligrapher Chou Meng-tieh. It’s written on lined manuscript paper, with each character slightly larger than the printed squares. The spacious layout leaves a quiet, mist-like blankness around the words. At the top, the title Dating stands out — its strokes cut sharply like a blade, both calm and powerful. The following characters are written in a small, disciplined regular script. Each stroke begins and ends with precision, showing Chou’s self-control and inner focus. Chou Meng-tieh lived a life of simplicity and spiritual reflection. Many people who admire his calligraphy are drawn not only to his brushwork, but also to the purity and integrity it represents. Looking at his handwriting feels like meeting the poet himself — quiet, humble, and utterly sincere.
