Subject:Another calligraphy scroll
Posted By: Tony W. Sun, Dec 22, 2024 IP: 23.243.126.110

Here is another scroll that bears the same set of seals like the previous one.
Would greatly appreciate your kind help on the meaning, please 🙏
Many thanks!

綠樹陰濃夏日長,
樓臺倒影入池塘
光緒卅年書
清人三品官 張氏 

The lush green trees cast dark shadows on the ground, and the summers days are long.
The shadow of the towers and terraces can be seen reflected in the pond.*
Written in the 30th Year of Guangxu Reign (1905)
Third rank officer of the Qing Dynasty, Master Zhang

* Citation from the Tang Dynasty military general Gao Pian's poem titled "A Pavillion in the Mountain on a Summer Day

I should have started yesterday from this. It was written in 1905, so it is different from Zhang Ying, who lived in the 17th century. In the Chinese calligraphy world, there are many examples that later calligraphers take the names of their predecessors.

With regards,
I.Nagy
