Art historian Zaixin Hong examines the enduring significance of the soundscape of music and calligraphy. The soundscape of calligraphy and music is a hallmark of Chinese civilization. This lecture explores their intricate connections and shared purpose, exemplified by Professor Lei Liang’s award-winning “A Thousand Mountains, A Million Streams,” and delves into Chou Wen-chung’s question, “When is a line not a line?” From Confucius’ “Six Arts” to modern masters like Huang Binhong, Pan Tianshou, Zao Wou-ki and Wang Dongling, the connections across centuries between music and calligraphy have bridged tradition and contemporary expression. In the age of AI, celebrating this human spirit becomes more vital than ever. The lecture will feature a special presentation of Huang Binhong’s masterpiece “Landscapes,” shown in stunning 4K projection with original music composed by Liang.
