Yu Youren (style name Boxun), a native of Sanyuan in Shaanxi, followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen in his early years and helped in establishing the Republic of China. After the age of fifty Yu devoted much of his energy to the study of cursive script, forming the Society of Cursive Script and promoting the standardization of cursive. Yu Youren believed that once cursive script became easy to decipher and understand as well as accurate and aesthetic, its use in writing would be like regular script in printing, saving the time and energy of the Chinese while strengthening national competitiveness. This work is a careful transcription of a section from the classic Mencius, citing how a gentleman maintains his cultivation and does not waver in the face of adversity, serving both as encouragement for himself and others. This work was donated to the National Palace Museum by Mr. Wang Hsin-heng.(20110913)
