The Beauty of Antiquities in the Forbidden City 5
by Zhu Yong
About This Novel
Zhu Yong uses poetic language, prose style, and historical attitude to select masterpieces of calligraphy collected by the Forbidden City on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, using ancient calligraphers such as Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, Lu You, and Wen Tianxiang as clues to tell the unknown historical stories behind these artworks and reproduce the ups and downs of these calligraphers' personal fates. This is a "Forbidden City on paper" that allows us to know how those ancient Chinese works of art that were greater than those of distant dynasties were born, and how they arrived in front of us after experiencing the ups and downs. Facing those long-lasting ink marks, both you and I will feel our hearts beat. In addition to marveling at the amazing techniques of ancient artists, I also think of the stories behind those pages, and the people and things that appeared and disappeared in the Forbidden City emerge.
