Zhi Ren 志仁.
Zhi Ren's semicursive style displays a very nice sense of balance between the characters. The overall effect is one of harmony even though some of the characters have their vertical and diagonal strokes written in an exaggeratedly long fashion.

While I watch the moon go down, a crow caws through the frost;
Under the shadows of maple-trees a fisherman moves with his torch;
And I hear, from beyond Suzhou, from the temple on Cold Mountain,
Ringing for me, here in my boat, the midnight bell.
夜姑江月
半苏枫落
钟城渔乌
声外火啼
到寒对霜
客山愁满
船寺眠天
