The big is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the valley
On the morning of December 7th, the invitation exhibition of Qixia Writing Scriptures "No Obstacle to the Heart" opened at the Yungu Art Museum of Qixia Ancient Temple.
The calligraphy exhibition was hosted by the Yungu Art Museum of Qixia Temple and co-organized by the Ximo Calligraphy and Painting Museum, with the participation of nine calligraphers, who created more than 60 calligraphy works with Buddhist cultural themes based on the Heart Sutra.
A Qixia Mountain, half of the history of Jinling. The Six Dynasties have a long history, and Qixia Mountain occupies an important position in it.
Every late autumn and early winter, the autumn leaves of the mountains are transparent, just like the sunset perched and fallen, which is spectacular. In history, countless literati and kings have stopped in Qixia and left more than a thousand immortal poems. Qixia Ancient Temple, known as "one of the four jungles of Buddhism", is also located at the foot of Qixia Mountain, which has a thousand-year history and is the ancestral court of the "Three Treatises Sect" of Chinese Buddhism. Yuan Yifan, a famous thinker of the Ming Dynasty, also had great enlightenment after receiving the teachings of Zen master Yungu here, and he combined his own experience to integrate science and Buddhism to write the "Four Precepts of Fan", which has important guiding significance for the change of the fate of the world.
Located in the back courtyard of Qixia Ancient Temple, adjacent to the Thousand Buddha Rock and the Three Sacred Temples, Yungu Art Museum is another place of tranquility in the Qixia Scenic Area. There is a cloud of words between the master and the layman of Qixia Temple: the big is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the valley. In this secluded place in the ancient temple, a grand exhibition of scripture writing was ushered in, which was a good story.
The nine authors invited to the exhibition are: Wu Yong, director of the Jiangsu Provincial Book Association and vice chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Calligraphers Association, Zhu Kai, secretary general of the Jiangsu Hard Pen Calligraphers Association, Chen Peng, chairman of the Nanjing Young Calligraphers Association, Guo Wen, secretary general of the Nanjing Young Calligraphers Association, Wang Yao, deputy secretary general of the Calligraphy Professional Committee of the Jiangsu Education Association, Xia Kaiyu, director of the Nanjing Ximo Calligraphy and Painting Museum, Pan Jiaojiao, director of the Calligraphy Professional Committee of the Nanjing Education Society, gao Shiyao, deputy secretary general of the Nanjing Young Calligraphers Association. Hu Yanwen, director of Nanjing Young Calligraphers Association.
These nine authors are all outstanding writers in the youth book scene in Jiangsu Province, some of whom have long become famous, and some of whom have become active in the art world in recent years. Their books are different in style and style, but they have an amazing tacit understanding in the reverence and inheritance of classics. Due to the harmony of causes, this exhibition can be described as the birth of the right time.
The abbot of Qixia Temple, Monk Long Xiangda, gladly wrote the exhibition logo for the exhibition and said: "Copying scriptures in the form of calligraphy is a kind of practice, and it is a good way for modern people to cultivate their bodies and minds. Fa Hong, director of Yungu Art Museum, said: "The calligraphers invited to participate in the exhibition are in their artistic youth, but their calligraphy is already profound. The invitation to nine teachers to hold an exhibition is also a representative appearance of Jiangsu young scholars. ”
It is reported that the works of the nine calligraphers of the Heart Sutra will be permanently collected by Qixia Temple.
