A dramatically sculpted 3D eagle, flying across pine trees, brings this decorative object’s brush painting style to life. The sentiment implied in this decorative piece, entitled Da zhan hongtu 大展鴻圖 or Riding On The Crest Of Success, is that one requires far-sightedness to succeed in one’s career.
On its reverse, celebrated Tang poet Li Bai’s elegant phrase alludes to and enhances the subject matter:
大鵬一日同風起
搏摇重上九萬里
Riding on the wind, the lone eagle soars high
In no time, it’s ninety thousand li up the sky
It makes a meaningful gift, as, when presented, it is a wish that the recipient achieves their plans and dreams.
A stand is included.
The works of Li Bai 李白 have been acclaimed from his own day in the Tang dynasty (618 CE – 906 CE). Arguably Chinese literature’s most highly regarded poet, he is lauded for his effortless elegance of style, evocative themes and a celebration of the simpler pleasures of life.
Space is available for personalisation.
