Background Info:
To promote appreciation of ancient Chinese art and philately and to coordinate with the activities of a special exhibition of a painting and calligraphy of the Northern Sung Dynasty, Chunghwa Post is issuing a set of four stamps and a souvenir sheet based on Sung Dynasty calligraphy and painting from the National Palace Museum collection. The designs of the stamps follow: 1. Poem in Seven-character Regulated Verse by Huang T’ing-chien (NT$5): In the calligraphy, Huang wrote only five lines of calligraphy. This calligraphy is relatively small in size. It is written in the caoshu (cursive script) style. Its reserved yet powerful brush strokes give it a bold and solid impression. It is a very well constructed masterpiece. Although, the calligraphy used to be the design of a previously issued stamp, this Post is once again using it as a design of a new stamp so as to give a chance for more people to admire such an elegant national treasure. 2. Calligraphy on Szechwan Silk by Mi Fu (NT$9): Szechwan Silk refers to a piece of extremely rare and precious silk. It was originally woven in eastern Szechwan and made into a scroll afterwards. After its completion, Lin Si searched far and wide for masters of calligraphy to write on it, but out of modesty none of them ventured more than an inscription on the last section of the scroll. Finally, in 1088, Mi Fu wrote eight poems in different styles on it. This shows how highly he regarded himself. Mi Fu excelled in singcao (running hand and cursive scripts of calligraphy). This scroll is one of his earlier masterpieces.
