Spring Ritual．Eulogy in Taipei
Novel Hall for Performing Arts
Synopsis
Calligraphy takes up an important position in Chinese culture. In the canon of calligraphic arts, Preface to The Orchid Pavilion and Eulogy for a Nephew are, without dispute, the most highly regarded works. As China’s two best works in running script, their artistic value is universally admired, and their authors, Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing, are the most respected masters. But what were the stories behind their creation? How did these works come into being?
Set against the cultural background that produced these works, Spring Ritual . Eulogy explores the intricate relationship between the abstract beauty of calligraphy and literati ideals through an interplay of classical dance and Chinese music.
