889 Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:34 PM Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:34 PM Google Translation gives the flavour. But scroll down to "Translation" in the text. https://baike.baidu.com/item/游黄山记/23440889 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:46 PM Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:46 PM And Han Yu's 师说 "On Teaching" by the looks of the lid, quick search gave this translation: https://eastasiastudent.net/china/classical/han-yu-shi-shuo-i/ Not exactly fluid on a scan but will give you an idea of the text. Not sure why they'd pair those two pieces, seems a bit random at first blush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lep Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:50 PM Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:50 PM here's one more to try to confirm the text! Thank you for your time guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:54 PM Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 at 01:54 PM You can see a bit of the text in your first picture mentions the Han Yu work; seems to be commentary or context rather than the work itself in the part that's visible. What with the font and layout it gives the impression of a decal created by copying a printed work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
