English Translation of Classical Chinese Calligraphy Masterpieces:

Description: There are currently no satisfactory English translations of prominent classical Chinese calligraphy masterpieces (¿¿, exemplary works that are worth for all to study and observe) like Cao Quan Stele (¿¿¿) and Lanting Xu (¿¿¿). This is the first book that offers line-by-line English translations of the following five Chinese calligraphy masterpieces along with detailed annotations and explanations using historical reference books and texts: 1. Cao Quan Stele (¿¿¿) by an unknown calligrapher (185AD); 2. Lanting Xu (¿¿¿) by Wang Xizhi (¿¿¿, 303-361AD); 3. Elaborations on the Chronicle of Ni Kuan (¿¿¿¿) by Chu Suiliang (¿¿¿, 596-658AD); 4. A Poem on General Pei (¿¿¿¿) by Yan Zhenqing (¿¿¿, 709- 785AD); 5. Huai Su's Autobiography (¿¿¿¿¿) by Huai Su (¿¿, 725-785 AD or 737-799 AD). Previous attempts by renowned scholars such as Patricia Ebrey (in translating Cao Quan Stele) and LIN Yutang (¿¿¿, in translating Lanting Xu) contain significant errors and omissions and will be briefly discussed in this book. Hence, serious learners of Chinese calligraphy as well as scholars studying traditional Chinese culture will find this book particularly useful. Kwan Sheung Vincent Poon (¿¿¿, 1979-) was born in Hong Kong, graduated from Ying Wa College in 1996, and later emigrated to Canada. Studying at the University of Toronto, he completed his BSc as the top graduate in Biochemistry and subsequently obtained his MSc and BEd degrees. He published numerous biochemistry research papers and currently teaches Mathematics and Science at the Toronto District School Board. His passion for Chinese calligraphy began at the age of six when he was under the tutelage of his father Kwok Kin POON (¿¿¿, PhD). His books include A Narrative on Calligraphy by Sun Guoting (¿¿¿¿) as well as English Translation of Classical Chinese Calligraphy Masterpieces (¿¿¿¿).
