description:
This is a letter that guan daosheng (管道昇, 1262-1319) wrote to have taken to the Buddhist abbot Zhongfeng Mingben (中峰明本, 1263-1323). It appears in the album "Calligraphy of the Yuan Dynasty Zhao Clan" (元趙氏一門法書).
The letter's contents mention gratitude for the kindness of her Buddhist master, hope that he performs rites for the deceased, and offering salvation to the family and all sentient beings. It is written with a combination of regular, running, and cursive scripts of calligraphy. The work is impressed with a "Zhao-guan" seal in relief, which presents a glimpse into the tradition of ladies who retain their surname after marriage.license:Public domain
