清鄧石如隷書對聯絹本 This work, written just a year before Deng Shiru’s death, encapsulates the appeal of his mature clerical script, which is typified by squat characters written in unwavering lines. Pairs of hanging scrolls like these—known as couplets (duilian)—were often hung in reception halls for special occasions. The sentiment of the poem (translated and transcribed below) is perfect for a festive celebration.Right: The heart is a good field—plow it for a hundredgenerations, and it will never be depleted.Left: Goodness is a perfect treasure—use it for a lifetime,and some will still remain.心作良田百世耕之不盡善為至寶一生用則有餘
