Context:
The early Ming calligrapher Chieh Chin passed his first degree civil service exam (hsueh shih) but eventually withdrew from official service and lived for a while as a monk. His robust and energetic calligraphy was highly prized. The exceptionally fluid characters, "dragged-ink" strokes, and well-modulated brushwork of this scroll reveal an incredible control of brush and ink and an individualistic spirit that was highly admired by the literati. His twenty-eight character verse reads:
The mountain's rocky girth has endured a thousand years;
A day has never passed without dragons and oceans;
Beneath heaven a verdant earth awaits benevolence;
Not knowing if clouds will settle here.
