妙墨佳书仰大王，
分甘三百字犹香。
何如临海霜飞后，
看取金丸走八方。
注：《奉橘帖》为王羲之遗墨：“奉橘三百枚，霜未降，未可多得。”大王，即王羲之，因与小王王献之相对而言。金丸，喻橘子。皮日休《早春以橘子寄鲁望》：“不为韩嫣金丸重，直是周王玉果圆。”

Reading of Offering Tangerines and Ode to Linhai Tangerines
By GUO Dingqian
Tr. LYU Wenpeng
Senior Wang’s rare calligraphy, so fine;
Three hundred tangerines still scent each line.
How could they match the fruit after frost here?
Behold, those gold orbs do sell far and near.
Notes:
1) Offering Tangerines is a surviving piece of calligraphy by Wang Xizhi (303–361, or 321–379, a renowned calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty), which reads: “I offer three hundred tangerines. As the frost has not come, they are not sweet enough — I cannot send more.”
2) “Senior Wang” refers to Wang Xizhi, in contrast to his son Wang Xianzhi, “Junior Wang.”
3) “Gold orbs” is a metaphor for tangerines. Pi Rixiu (c. 834 – after 902) and Lu Guimeng (styled Lu Wang), known together as “Pi-Lu”, were leading poets of the late Tang Dynasty. In his poem “Sending Tangerines to Lu Wang in Early Spring”, Pi wrote: “Not valued like the gold orbs Han Yan threw, // But perfect as King Zhou's jade fruit so true.”
