[at top] Lord Seogyang’s Stylistic Principle 石陽風條 [Seogyang is the artist’s royal title]

[Poem]

Old Bamboo, long and short, all mixed. / The leaves lift simultaneously as the breeze comes. / Calm and restrained is their posture, so impressive as to move people. / Their remaining echo is found nowhere else. //

Composed by Changrang, written [transcribed] by Junghwa for Daerae
