爾俸爾禄 (Your salary, your emolument)
民膏民脂 (Is from the people's sweat and fat)
下民易虐 (The common people are easily oppressed)
上天難欺 (But Heaven is not easily deceived)
Originally words from a Kanshin (admonition to officials) written by Meng Chang, the emperor of Later Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in China. It is a saying that admonishes officials to be incorruptible.
In Japan, it is inscribed on the Kaiseki Mei (Admonition Tablet) in Nihonmatsu City (a National Historic Site).
It is said to be a teaching that corrects the attitude of officials: An official's salary comes from the people's sweat and fat (blood tax), and while it is easy to oppress the people, it is impossible to deceive Heaven.
The front surface shows noticeable wrinkles.
The back surface has many stains.
There are spots that might make you wonder if ink has splattered, but they are from the beginning, so please enjoy them as part of the artwork (Image 7).
Please check the images.
This calligraphy is also recommended for display in a tokonoma or as Japanese-style interior decor.
