Dragon flying, phoenix dancing on the silk painting.

Such calligraphic artistry since the ancient times, there’s only a few.

Bamboo crisp - sword moving in a perfect curve.

Willow soft - cloud floating a path of mythical wonder.

In China of ancient times, there was Xi-Zhi.

In Vietnam of today, Vũ Hối is here.

The word painting shines with the color of wondrous beauty.

Like the flowers of snow decorating the plum blossom leaves.
