Description
Understanding the soul of Chinese calligraphy requires delving into its literary contents. The Calligraphy Meets Philosophy series presents traditional Chinese calligraphy alongside line-by-line translations with remarks and footnotes, fostering readers' comprehension of traditional Chinese thoughts through art and concise English translations.
This book explores key philosophical concepts such as "Nothingness", "Form", "Tranquility", "Ease" and "Self Enlightenment". It features selected literary works by various authors, including calligraphies and translations, to illustrate these ideas. The concluding artwork is the calligraphy of the Diamond Sutra in small standard script.
The author would like to express gratitude to his father, Dr Kwok Kin POON, for his invaluable advice on translations throughout the series. His support has been instrumental in shaping the author's passion for traditional Chinese calligraphy and culture.
