It consists of twenty-eight Chinese characters calligraphy,
pronounced ‘yue luo wu ti shuang mai tian, jiang feng yu huo dui chou mian, gu shu
cheng wai han shang shi, ye ban zhong sheng dao ke chuan’.
This phrase originates from a poem written by Zhangji, a
famous poet living in ancient Tang Dynasty. When he failed the palace examination
and came back home, he wrote this great poem which is everlasting. Suppose he had
succeeded his palace examination, could he have written such a poem which enjoys
great popularity, even at present?
About Tang Poetry

Tang dynasty, (June 18, 618 - June 4, 907, including the 690-705 reign of Wu Zetian)
and/or follows a certain style, often considered as the Golden Age of Chinese poetry.
According to a compilation, the Quantangshi, created under
the Kangxi emperor of the Qing Dynasty, there were almost 50,000 Tang poems written
by over 2,200 authors. During the Tang Dynasty, poetry continued to be an important
part of social life at all levels of society. Scholars were required to master poetry
for the civil service examinations, but the art was available to everyone. This
led to a large record of poetry and poets, a partial record of which survives today.
Two of the most famous poets of the period were Du Fu and Li Bai.

Her bell tone reaching my boat at mid-night.
