Traditional Shoji Screens :: Tang Dynasty Chinese Poem Screen

Tang Dynasty Chinese Poem Screen

This classic poem is a practical parable that is also a fitting epitaph for its author. Liu Zhong Yuan's poem "The Carpenter" showcases easily identifiable roots in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, bearing a simple message that has deep implications. The carpenter with few tools must be a skillful manager of the men with many tools, keeping sight of the entire project and ever vigilant about the goal. In the poem, Zhong Yuan compares the trade of carpentry with that of public manager, pointing out that, at its core, running a country is similar to managing a construction site. One doesn't have to be a master carpenter, a master mason and a master plumber, but instead must be able to coordinate those specialists to produce the desired result. Our Tang Dynasty Chinese Poem Screen featuring "The Carpenter" could be the perfect gift for carpenters and public managers alike. Its simple, hand-painted message offers a meaningful story its owner can relay to every guest, and decorations with meaning are the best decorations of all. Our elegant privacy screens are hand-painted ink and watercolor on silk, constructed to last, yet beautiful enough to stand on their own as works of art. Display our Tang Dynasty Chinese Poem Screen – or gift it to someone important in your life – as a unique story that will entertain and inspire guests for years to come.
