Come to the autumn exhibition of calligraphic works
→Reflection
On October 6th (Saturday) at 10a.m., Class 503 students at the Chingsau Elementary School skipped their classes at after-school tutoring centers to attend the opening ceremony of the first cultural activity in their lives – “an autumn exhibition of short calligraphic works by nine sulfur creek eccentrics”. We arrived at the exhibition center at the Everyday Aesthetics Pavilion on the lower ground floor of the Yuanlin Township Library, where a total of over 40 calligraphic works in various sizes were hung on the four sides of the rectangular exhibition center and admired by numerous participating guests.

Featuring mostly calligraphy in running and cursive script, calligraphy in oracle-bone script, as well as calligraphy in official script and seal script, the autumn short calligraphic works exhibition used Taiwanese poetry as the lead to thread inspirational classic and modern poetry and quotes and aimed to bring out audience’s intrinsic artistic literacy in the process of admiring the art of Chinese calligraphy. The so-called short calligraphic works referred to works that were shorter in sizes and allowed for more spontaneous creation.

After hearing the introduction by Chairman Chuang Hung-liang, we were able to appreciate the calligraphic work “Dabajian Mountain” by Teacher Chang Pei-yuan. The regular scrip in the calligraphic work represented a grandiose and majestic mountain while the cursive script in the art work represented ever-changing clouds that passed by the mountain peak. When admiring the calligraphic work “Spring Rain” by Principle Huang Jung-sen, we seemed to become the tiny thriving grass which lifted its head to embrace sprinkle that resembled water spray. From the calligraphic work “In Memory of the Heroic Deeds of Predecessors Who Reclaimed Uncultivated Lands”, we witnessed the pioneering spirit of warriors who intrepidly travelled across the sea with machetes and hoes to open up wastelands.
Wow! We were amazed to see calligraphy beyond the art of neat writings. The exhibition also featured Teacher Chao Tsung-sung’s calligraphic work “the Accumulation of Knowledge Benefits from Consulting Others” and Teacher Liu Chih-hsin’s calligraphic work “Learn to Listen with Your Heart” among other masterpieces. In a pleasant autumn day and beneath the bold and unrestrained calligraphic strokes were these teachers’ reflections and care for life!
