| Reverse description | The reverse presents a faithful reproduction of a portion of the celebrated Tang Dynasty calligraphic work Gu Shi Si Tie (古诗四帖) by the master calligrapher Zhang Xu (張旭), rendered in the cursive wild-grass script (狂草). The excerpt depicts the phrase 翰逸神飛 (hàn yì shén fēi), meaning 'write with fluency and divine verve,' capturing the dynamic energy characteristic of Zhang Xu's style. Inscribed vertically in the field are 中国书法艺术 (The Art of Chinese Calligraphy), 唐 (Tang Dynasty), 張旭 (Zhang Xu), and 古詩四帖 (Gu Shi Si Tie). A seal stamp reading 中国书法艺术 appears within the composition. The denomination 10元 is inscribed at the lower right. |
