FIG. 37.—HSUAN-PI PAGODA

By Liu Kung-Chiian ( 柳 ZS FE), a scholar and calligrapher. His style might at first glance be mistaken for that of Ou-Yang Hsiin. But Liu’s strokes have greater “boniness ’ and the construction of the character is more elongated. The inscription suggests a slender but well-covered figure belonging to a man careful in carrying out a thing from start to finish
