《淡室诗》轴，元，倪瓒书，纸本，行楷书，纵64厘米，横27厘米。

　　释文：

　　欲写新诗尘满几，味我迂言淡如水。白云淡淡何从来，来伴我（此字点去）孤吟北窗里。酒味甘浓易变酸，世情对面九疑山。白云且结无情友，明月幽禽与往还。八月廿日过宗道云栖楼，命余赋子安淡室诗，因赋。是日疏雨生凉，山光满几，殊有幽兴也。瓒。

　　无题跋。鉴藏印钤有清“润州戴植字培之鉴藏书画章”印一方。

　　《淡室诗》是倪瓒为友人“宗道”所书的一首七律诗。诗中寄托了他避世索居、与白云幽禽为伴的心境。

　　此书是倪瓒存世作品中唯一的一件大字行楷书，使用了极少见的立轴装裱形式。其书字形挺直，章法整齐疏朗，点画质朴遒劲，收笔顿挫有力，撇、捺尽量拉长，据书风判断应为其晚年之作。

Annotations:

If I want to write new poems, it tastes like water. White clouds light never, to accompany me (this word to go) lonely chant in the North window. The wine tastes sweet and sour, facing Jiusui Mountain. White clouds and friendless, the moon and birds and the past. On August 20, I passed through the Yunqi Tower of Zongdao, and ordered Yu Fu Zi to write poems in an easy room. It's rainy and cool, and the mountains are full of sunshine, so it's very quiet. Zan.

No title or postscript. The seal of collection is on the one side of the Qing Dynasty seal of the collection of books by Daizhi Zipei in Runzhou.

Tan Shi is a seven-rhythm poem written by Ni Zan as a friend of Zongdao. In his poems, he hides away from the world and lives alone with the white clouds and fowls.

This book is the only large-character regular script in Nizan's surviving works, using a rare form of vertical mounting. His calligraphy is straight, neat and clear, plain and vigorous in composition, strong in closing, elongated as far as possible, and should be judged by his style of writing in his later years.
