Practice to prepare for 春联 Practising My Calligraphy for Writing Spring Couplets (春联)

Maybe I need to practise [With an "s" is a verb.  With a "c" it is a noun]more to ensure a better effort of improve my handwriting.

It's What I wrote was an ancient poem named called "Returning" (归园田居)，coming from the poet by Tao Yuan Ming (陶渊明)。 Not everyone can read Chinese.  So you have to have at least an English translation since you are writing an English Essay.  You can simply change this paragraph into a single sentence of "What I wrote was an ancient poem".

Since not all native speakers can read the running script (行書), below is the poem in print.

少无适俗韵，性本爱丘山。
误落尘网中，一去三十年。
羁鸟恋旧林，池鱼思故渊。
开荒南野际，守拙归园田。
方宅十余亩，草屋八九间。
榆柳荫（I made it wrong into 映，so sorry）后檐，桃李罗堂前。
暧暧远人村，依依墟里烟。
狗吠深巷中，鸡鸣桑树颠。
户庭无尘杂，虚室有余闲。
久在樊笼里，复得返自然。

I have to say it's quite an beautiful an art form. To be able to write it well,such and be sophiscated looking  and need hard work is much needed.⊙▽⊙ My calligraphy is still far away from the ideal level I hope for.  .-_-||

You should not put all these emoticons in a formal essay.  I wish I can write like this.  I'm just starting to learn from Youtube's presentation of Professor Tian's series, 每日一題, 每日一字.
