Qiu Ying, Immortal Mountain and Pavilions, the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644)
"Each stroke is like an iron wire, with beginnings and endings, rhythm and emotion. It also carries a sense of openness and simplicity, reminiscent of Tang Dynasty small-script calligraphy, inviting endless exploration."

A "cha(槎)" is a bamboo and wood raft.
In Chinese #mythology, a wooden raft that travels to the heavens is called a xingcha(星槎, "star raft"). People believed that immortals could use such rafts to travel between the human world and the celestial realm across the vast sea.

Tang Yin, Returning Home on a Donkey, 1368–1644
"After failing in my appeals, I pack up my books and return home,
Riding my donkey as usual toward the verdant hills.
Face weathered by wind, frost, and dusty travels,
I face my mountain wife, who has only a threadbare cloak."

A few cries of resting birds after the spring rain."
