Most Benevolent Actions Resemble Water In Character. 上善若水． Excerpted from the famous sentence of Laozi's "Dao De Jing".

The short paragraph on the left side of this work means is: Enjoying the classic famous sentence - "Most benevolent actions resemble water in character" from the Laozi (Dao De Jing): Water benefits all things but does not compete with them. It puts itself in (low) places where most people don" it comes close to the nature of Dao. people don"t like. As such, it comes close to the nature of Dao. It means that goodness is the most perfect realm and a gentleman should be like a virtue of water. The following is the lunar year and my name signature. The red seal is my last name.

This piece of artwork was using Chinese traditional ink handwritten on good quality rice paper., and it was a seal script style (1122 - 221 B.C.) in Chinese calligraphy by Carmen Lam.

Calligraphy is a kind of line art and abstract art that humans express emotions. Chinese calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture because it is a unique and visual art that covers Chinese language, history, philosophy, calligraphy, and aesthetics. Its performance art is praised as speechless poetry, no dance of the line, the painting without pictures, the silent music.
