This calligraphy is by Fu xi who took a few lines by Su Shi, the renowned Literati-scholar in the Song dynasty, and presented them in running script as a calligraphy album to the well-known artist, Ju Lian (1828-1904). The calligraphy is among the eight Fu Xi pieces collected by Ma Kiam, donated to the University Library in 2009; other works in the collections, all in running script, include two five-character quatrains and pieces of Su Shi's writings.
