Subject:Plate with writings
Posted By: Tony Fri, May 29, 2020 IP: 2607:fb90:4e26:10d5:
Dear friends,
It is a large modern looking plate with writings.
I would really appreciate your help with the meaning of the writings, please!
Best,
Tony

點々樓前細雨　　重々江外平湖
當年戯馬會東徐　今日淒涼南浦
莫恨黄花末吐　　且教紅粉相扶
酒閙不必看茉藇　伏仰人間今古

The light rain is spotting in front of the tower
and the lake outside of the river is heavy and flat
In this year the horse event is hold in Dongxu,
today I am alone and sad in Nanpu
I do not regret the yellow flowers (chrysanthemums) for not exposing fragrance,
it is better to lean on a woman beside me
Simply I indulge in drinking the wine, no need to look up at the dogwood,
old and new things are passing in an instant

The above text is a citation from a poem by the Song dynasty poet Su Shi a.k.a. Dongpo

From this somewhat longer text I got used to to the calligrapher's "sloppy" style, so I have to correct my previous reading and translation of the last two characters at the end of the colophon,
The new reading is;
書刻實記　-　Real calligraphy ( not Calligraphy Constitution)

With regards,
I.Nagy
