In a scholar’s study, books fill the room. The room is full of fragrance, and the curtains are tightly concealed. The vase is filled with flowers, and the desk is full of fragrance. Sleeping here until the sun shines in the window.

In front of me is the unfinished chess game that I played last night. I light the incense and carefully study the meaning of the inscriptions in the Tang Dynasty. If you don't have the mood to drink or read poetry, you can observe the plum blossom and the snowflakes.

Writing Song Dynasty Mr. Zhou Jin’s lyrics Pure and Peaceful at my Leaf Sweeping Studio in Vancouver on an auspicious day in June 2021. - Jianang Su.

圖書一室。香暖垂簾密。花滿翠壺熏研席。睡覺滿窗晴日。手寒不了殘棋。篝香細勘唐碑。無酒無詩情緒，欲梅欲雪天時。

落款：右録宋人周晉詞, 清平樂, 歲次辛丑六月吉日於雲城掃葉山房, 蘇健剛

鈐印：健剛私印, 掃葉山房, 無上清凉
