About
The phrase "huan wo du shu yan" (return my reading eyes) comes from Northern Song dyansty poet Huang Tingjian (1045-1105)'s poem 《子瞻以子夏丘明见戏聊复戏答》： 化工见弹太早计，端为失明能著书。迩来似天会事发，泪睫见光犹陨珠。喜公新赐紫琳腴，上清虚皇对久如。请天还我读书眼，愿载轩辕讫鼎湖。
Zhuang Yuan is one of the names of Chinese master Zhang Daqian (1899 - 1983）.Da Feng Tang is the name of Zhang's studio.
