Description
Chinese Calligraphy by Tai Oi Yee
Website: oystudio.com
This is a famous Chinese quote: 海納百川 The Sea Accepts A Hundred Streams, meaning that a great person can accept all things big and small.
The origin in a different form is from a Taoist Zhuangzi saying: "between heaven and earth, there is nothing greater than the sea, it accepts ten thousand streams" 莊子‧秋水篇 :天下之水莫大於海,萬川納之.
Then in the Ching Dynasty, Lin Zexu 林則徐 wrote the inspiring words during his fight against foreign powers forcing opium on his country:
海納百川,有容乃大。 壁立千仞,無欲則剛。"The sea accepts a hundred streams, being able to accept all is to be great. The cliffs stand firm and thousands of feet tall, having no selfish desire is to be strong."
