Towards Chinese Calligraphy Qian Zhuzhong and Fang Desheng I. History of Chinese Calligraphy: A Brief Overview Chinese calligraphy, like script itself, began with hieroglyphs and, over time, has developed various styles and schools, constituting an important part of the national cultural heritage. Chinese scripts are generally divided into five categories: Seal script, Clerical (or Official) script, Regular script, Running script, and Cursive script. What follows is a brief introduction of the evolution of Chinese calligraphy. A. From Prehistory to Xia Dynasty (ca. 16 century B.C.) The art of calligraphy began with the creation of Chinese characters. Without modern technology in ancient times, “Sound couldn’t travel to another place and couldn’t remain, so writings came into being to act as the track of meaning and sound.”1 However, instead of characters, the first calligraphy works were picture-like symbols. These symbols first appeared on ceramic vessels and only showed ambiguous con- cepts without clear meanings.

    The Wisdom of Emptiness: Selected Works from the Xubaizhai Collection Audio guide script 400 Exhibition overview Welcome to “The Wisdom of Emptiness: Selected Works from the Xubaizhai Collection” exhibition. Xubaizhai was designated by the late collector of Chinese painting and calligraphy, Mr Low Chuck-tiew. A particular strength of the collection lies in the Ming and Qing dynasties works by masters of the “Wu School”, “Songjiang School”, “Four Monks”, “Orthodox School” and “Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou”. This exhibition features more than 30 representative works from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the twentieth century. This audio guide will take you through highlighted pieces in the exhibition, as well as the artistic characteristics of different schools of painting and individual artists. 401．Exhibit no. 1 Shen Zhou (1427 – 1509) Farewell by a stream at the end of the year 1486 Hanging scroll, ink and colour on paper 143 x 62.5 cm Xubaizhai Collection Shen Zhou, courtesy name Qinan, was a native of Suzhou in Jiangsu province. He excelled in painting and poetry as well as calligraphy, in which he followed the style of Huang Tingjian (1045 – 1105), while his students included Wen Zhengming (1470 – 1559) and Tang Yin (1470 – 1524). Shen was hailed as the most prominent master of the Wu School of Painting and one of the Four Masters of the Ming dynasty (1368 – 1644). Studying under Chen Kuan (ca. 1393 – 1473), Du Qiong (1396 – 1474) and Liu Jue (1410 – 1472), Shen modelled his paintings on the styles of Wang Fu (1362 – 1416) and the Four Masters of the Yuan dynasty (1279 – 1368), but he also extended his interest to the works of the Zhe School and incorporated its techniques into his art.

  • Impressions and Expressions
    IMPRESSIONS AND EXPRESSIONS: THE ENTHRALLING ART OF CHINESE SEALS by Mike Harty, Although the seal is small, no longer than your finger and no larger that two square inches, it contains development and structure and, in its sweep and profundity, can be as satisfying as a fine work of literary art. ‘Lidai yinxue lunwenxuan’ A Treatise on the Study of Seals from Past Dynasties Han Tianheng born 1940 Seals exist in almost every civilisation. They have been used principally as a mark of power, to give authority to orders or directions from kings and emperors, governors and generals. They are often things of great beauty. The royal seals of Egypt and of Mesopotamia, for example, are featured in major museums and private collections, not only for their historical significance, but also for their intrinsic artistic value. In China, while it is suggested in various texts that seals have been used by people of power since very early times, the oldest authenticated seals date only from the Warring States period (480 — 221 BC); although references to seal impressions can be found in literature dating back to the Spring and Autumn period (722 — 481 BC). THE BAGUA The vast majority of seals, because they relate to names, involve writing; which means the development of seals is intimately aligned with the development of writing. The earliest Chinese writing dates back to the origins of Chinese culture. The Chinese believe that their writing began with the development in the third millennium BC, of the Bagua, the eight trigrams of the Yijing or Book of Changes.

You can appreciate the art of seal carving and know more about the history of seal carving in Hong Kong here. Let’s have fun in the world of seal carving together! 1. An Introduction to Seal Carving Over the dynasties in Imperial China, seals were used for official and private purposes. There were several types of seals, as distinguished by their inscriptions: name seals, collector’s seals, archaic verse seals, pictorial seals etc. Pictorial seals were also known as graphic seals. In ancient times, some of these pictorial seals combined picture and text that complemented each other. Do you know what they are? Please match each seal to its corresponding type. a. b. c. d. name seal collector’s seal archaic verse seals pictorial seal (1) Shapes Seals come in many different shapes: square, rectangular, round and oval, irregular as well as graphic icons like peach, fish, heart, gourd and bird.

In relief carving, the strokes of characters are in relief as the blank parts are incised.

Chen certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler Date approved: May 13, 2016 ii Abstract As the first comprehensive art-historical study of the Qing poet Yuan Mei (1716–97) and the female intellectuals in his circle, this dissertation examines the depictions of these women in an eighteenth-century handscroll, Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instructions at the Lake Pavilion, related paintings, and the accompanying inscriptions. Created when an increasing number of women turned to the scholarly arts, in particular painting and poetry, these paintings documented the more receptive attitude of literati toward talented women and their support in the social and artistic lives of female intellectuals. These pictures show the women cultivating themselves through literati activities and poetic meditation in nature or gardens, common tropes in portraits of male scholars. The predominantly male patrons, painters, and colophon authors all took part in the formation of the women’s public identities as poets and artists; the first two determined the visual representations, and the third, through writings, confirmed and elaborated on the designated identities.

  • Power, Identity and Antiquarian Approaches in Modern Chinese Art
    Power, identity and antiquarian approaches in modern Chinese art Chia-Ling Yang Within China, nationalistic sentiments notably inhibit objective analysis of Sino- Japanese and Sino-Western cultural exchanges during the end of the Qing dynasty and throughout the Republican period: the fact that China was occupied by external and internal powers, including foreign countries and Chinese warlords, ensured that China at this time was not governed or united by one political body. The contemporary concept of ‘China’ as ‘one nation’ has been subject to debate, and as such, it is also difficult to define what the term ‘Chinese painting’ means.1 The term, guohua 國畫 or maobihua 毛筆畫 (brush painting) has traditionally been translated as ‘Chinese national painting’. 2 While investigating the formation of the concept of guohua, one might question what guo 國 actually means in the context of guohua. It could refer to ‘Nationalist painting’ as in the Nationalist Party, Guomindang 國民黨, which was in power in early 20th century China. It could also be translated as ‘Republican painting’, named after minguo 民國 (Republic of China). These political sentiments had a direct impact on guoxue 國學 (National Learning) and guocui 國粹 (National Essence), textual evidence and antiquarian studies on the development of Chinese history and art history. With great concern over the direction that modern Chinese painting should take, many prolific artists and intellectuals sought inspiration from jinshixue 金石學 (metal and stone studies/epigraphy) as a way to revitalise the Chinese

  • Highlights of the Development of Seal Carving in Hong Kong Over the Past 150 Years
    Highlights of the Development of Seal Carving in Hong Kong over the Past 150 Years LAU Ho-man Samantha Hong Kong has played an integral role in the development of the Lingnan seal community for a significant amount of time. As early as the 1930s and 1940s, the number of migrant scholars, epigraphers (jinshi jia) and seal carvers in Hong Kong dramatically increased as a result of the ongoing civil war in Mainland China. These artisans and scholars often either stayed in Hong Kong briefly, settled permanently, or regularly travelled between Guangdong and Hong Kong. Over the course of several decades, countless seal carvers, scholars, influential figures and activities were involved in the burgeoning seal community. Through teaching, cultural gatherings, publishing, organising exhibitions and establishing societies, these participants laid the cornerstone for the development of the Hong Kong seal community. Despite this, there has not yet been any significant research regarding the history of seal carving in Hong Kong – only a very small number of scholars have conducted research in this area, and only several articles have been written about it in the past century. Tang Cheong-shing, a contemporary seal carver, first wrote “Xianggang zhuanke fazhan gaikuang (An overview of the development of seal carving in Hong Kong)” in 1988 and the content of this article has been more or less repeated in his subsequent writings, including “Xianggang zhuanke fazhan shi (The history of seal carving development in Hong Kong)” (1989) and “Seal Carving in Hong Kong – Retrospection” (1995), which provided an overview of the development of Hong Kong seal carving between the 1940s and 1980s.
