介绍（中）	张继之是宋代最后一位重要的书法家，他是一位虔诚的佛教徒，经常抄写宗教经文作为虔诚的行为。他获得了金士学位，这是公务员考试中的最高级别，但从未升任要职。然而，作为一名书法家，他的名气超越了宋代，传到了中国北方的金帝国，也传到了日本，在那里，他的书法尤其受到禅宗僧侣的珍视。张以其有力的大字标准字而闻名，其笔触大胆对比，钝而曲折。这首作品于几个世纪前在日本重新装帧，以象征形式展示，是从一个长手卷上截取的，该手卷转录了杜甫（712–770）的一首诗，其方式使原作的诗歌措辞完全支离破碎。最初的两副对联可以翻译如下（这幅卷轴的文本在第四行和第五行）：天堂之门在晴朗的天空中打开，涟漪在颤抖<在蛇形河边，翠鸟的窗帘上挂满了银饰拂水，盘旋，舞袖扑腾登上云端，清脆清脆，歌声响起（乔纳森·查维斯译）
介绍（英）	Zhang Jizhi, the last important calligrapher of the Song period, was a devout Buddhist who often transcribed religious texts as an act of devotion. He obtained his jinshi degree, the highest rank in the civil service examination, but never rose to high office. As a calligrapher, however, his fame spread beyond the borders of the Song to the Jin empire in northern China as well as to Japan, where his handwriting was particularly prized by Zen monks. Zhang was noted for his forceful large-character standard script, with its boldly contrasting blunt and sinuous brushstrokes. This piece, remounted centuries ago in Japan for display in a tokonoma, was cut from a long handscroll transcribing a poem by Du Fu (712–770) in such a manner that the poetic phrasing of the original is completely fragmented. The original two couplets may be translated as follows (the text of this scroll is on the fourth and fifth lines): Heavenly gates open in clear skies, ripples vastly trembling; By the Serpentine, kingfisher curtains hang arrayed with silver plaques. Brushing the water, hovering, dancing sleeves flutter; Climbing to the clouds, crisp and clear, the sounds of songs arise. (Translated by Jonathan Chaves)
