Featured Works

Golden Autumn Jade Dew (金秋玉露)

Time slips by like a galloping steed.
Life’s most precious moments are not always golden riches or grand journeys.
Sometimes, it’s the simple joy of sharing tea,
The clinking of cups, laughter among friends.
Like meeting the morning dew in a golden autumn breeze,
Such moments surpass all earthly worries.

Jade Golden Sand (玉金沙)

Refined golden sand, its texture long and cool,
A cup that brings refreshment in the summer heat.
Walk alone to the lotus pond— No breeze, no scent—yet all is serene.
