尺寸:152×40 (畫心)

譚延闓（1879-1930），字祖庵（安），號無畏、訒齋，湖南茶陵人，為國民黨重要政治人物。譚延闓五歲入私塾，光緒三十年（1904）年進士，受翰林院編修。1905年任長沙中路師範學堂監督。1907年組織湖南憲政公會。1909年任湖南諮議局長，次年任北京資政院議員。武昌起義後，湖南響應獨立，出任湖南參議院議長兼民政部長。1912年8月加入國民黨。1916年第二次任湖南省長兼督軍。1918年第三度督湘，1920年被迫下臺，去上海。1922年加入中國國民黨，隨孫中山去廣州，任內政部長，湖南省長兼湘軍總司令。1924年後任國民黨中執委、國民政府常委、國民黨中央政委主席、代理國民政府主席。1927年後代理武漢國民政府主席、南京行政院長等職。
譚延闓書法為時人所重，有「北華南譚」之謂，其楷書以顏體為主，行書取法蘇軾、米芾，又結合清代名家金石書風，《霎嶽樓筆談》評：「祖安早歲仿劉石庵，中年專意錢南園、翁松禪兩家，晚參米南宮，骨力雄厚，可謂健筆。」可見其書法受近人影響，特別是錢灃、翁同龢二家，承繼同光以來的書法發展。
本作為譚延闓贈姚味辛之對聯，「作詩頗似六一語，筆勢挽回三百年」，讚揚姚之詩書造詣。姚味辛（1889-1977），原名琮，陸軍中將，曾任黃埔軍校校長辦公廳主任、首都警察廳長，為首屆國大代表，亦為著名書法家。(509字)

Tan Yen-Kai (1879-1930), courtesy name Zu’an, and pseudonyms Wuwei and Renzhai, was a significant political figure in the Kuomintang (KMT) from Chaling, Hunan. At the age of five, he entered a private school. In 1904, he passed the imperial examination during the 30th year of the Guangxu reign and was appointed as a compiler at the Hanlin Academy. In 1905, he became the supervisor of Changsha Zhonglu Normal School. In 1907, Tan organized the Hunan Constitutional Association. By 1909, he was appointed as the director of the Hunan Advisory Bureau and the following year as a member of the Beijing Advisory Council. After the Wuchang Uprising, Hunan declared independence, and he served as the chairman of the Hunan Provincial Assembly and Minister of Civil Affairs. Tan joined the Kuomintang in August 1912. In 1916, he was appointed Governor of Hunan and military commander for the second time, and again in 1918. He was forced to step down in 1920 and moved to Shanghai. In 1922, he joined the Chinese Kuomintang and accompanied Sun Yat-sen to Guangzhou, where he served as Minister of the Interior, Governor of Hunan, and Commander-in-Chief of the Hunan Army. After 1924, he held various positions including member of the KMT Central Executive Committee, member of the National Government Standing Committee, chairman of the KMT Central Political Council, and acting chairman of the National Government. After 1927, he served as acting chairman of the Wuhan National Government and Premier of the Nanjing Executive Yuan.
Tan Yen-Kai’s calligraphy was highly esteemed during his time, earning the moniker "North Hua, South Tan." His regular script primarily followed the Yan style, while his running script was influenced by Su Shi and Mi Fu, combined with the epigraphic style of famous Qing Dynasty calligraphers. "Shayue Lou Bi Tan" (Notes from Shayue Tower) comments: "In his early years, Zu'an imitated Liu Shian, in middle age, he focused on Qian Nanyuan and Weng Songchan, and in later years, he incorporated Mi Fu’s style, resulting in robust and vigorous calligraphy." This highlights the influence of contemporaries on his calligraphy, particularly Qian Feng and Weng Tonghe, continuing the development of calligraphy from the Tongguang period.
This work is a couplet presented by Tan Yen-Kai to Yao Wei-Hsin, which reads, "Your poetry resembles the words of Liu Yuxi, and your brushstrokes revive the style of the past three hundred years," praising Yao's accomplishments in poetry and calligraphy. Yao Wei-Hsin (1889-1977), originally named Cong, was a lieutenant general in the army, who served as the Chief of the General Office of the Whampoa Military Academy and the Chief of Police in the capital. He was also a representative of the first National Assembly and a renowned calligrapher.
