Chinese calligraphy possesses astounding beauty as well as profound cultural legacy. Apart from skills and stylistic changes, notable calligraphic works further reflect the rise and fall of a dynasty, the artist’s personality, cultivation and even social life. Divided into two phases, this exhibition features 100 pieces of calligraphic works from the Tang to the Qing Dynasty, including Buddhist sutras, poems, letters, couplets, essays, manuscripts and so on. Among the highlights are the precious handwritings of the Chinese emperor, exquisite works of esteemed calligraphers such as Ni Zan, Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming and Dong Qichang, along with calligraphic works from Guangdong artists. The exhibits of diversified categories and styles contribute to bringing visitors a thorough picture of Chinese calligraphy in terms of both aesthetics and culture. To complement the exhibition, the Art Museum and the Bei Shan Tang Foundation jointly present an education gallery with the aim of stimulating visitors’ interest and understanding in the art of Chinese calligraphy.
