Pictographic Chinese Calligraphy (57) Lower Mountain could be more famous if there is immortal - 山不在高,有仙则名

 


A famous Chinese poet says "山不在高,有仙则名“,meaning "Lower Mountain could be more famous if there is immortal".

The Chinese characters in the above artwork:

1, Mountain - shell bone script

2, Cloud - shell bone script 


3, Immortal - small seal script.
    
    Immortal in song typeface: 仙. 
    The left is Person radical, the right is Mountain, meaning that the immortal is the person who lives in the mountain.
    The original small seal script is very complicated. Based on the song typeface and the typical small seal script strokes, I created the new small seal script as the one in the top right in the artwork. The left is the person who is facing left, and the right is the mountain.
