書法，是漢字的靈魂，也是中華文明的血脈。

​

從甲骨文、金文的古樸，到秦篆的勻整、漢隸的生動；從魏晉楷書的嚴謹，到行書的流暢、草書的奔放——每一種字體的誕生，都是時代精神的寫照。

書法從不僅是線條的藝術。它更承載著豐富的主題：書寫者的性情態度、萬物生靈的生意盎然、吉祥納福的美好祈願、山河景色的壯麗多姿、哲學思想的深邃悠遠，對經典詩詞的臨摹傳承、以及治國與事君的精神。

​

千百年來，無數人傾盡一生鑽研不輟。其引人入勝的魅力在於它不僅是美學，還是哲學，更是生命的修行。提筆落墨之間，手腕輕重、筆鋒緩急、墨色濃淡，無一不是心境的真實映照。

​

香港大學美術博物館將於2026年10月16日至2027年1月10日隆重呈現《墨韻千年：張焯槐書法展》特展。展出已故香港書法家張焯槐的作品，涵蓋多種書法字樣及題材，盡顯中國千年漢字演變歷史。觀衆可走進筆墨世界，於點畫之間，不僅體會張焯槐先生畢生對書法之熱愛，更能欣賞漢字之美，領悟中國文化之深。

 

Calligraphy is the soul of Chinese characters and the lifeblood of Chinese civilization. 

​

From the archaic simplicity of oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, to the uniformity of Qin dynasty seal script and the vitality of Han dynasty clerical script; from the disciplined structure of Wei and Jin regular script, to the fluidity of running script and the untamed energy of cursive script—the birth of each script form reflects the spirit of its age.

​

Calligraphy has never been merely an art of lines. It embodies a vast spectrum of themes: the temperament of the calligrapher, the vibrant energy of living beings, prayers for blessings, the grandeur of mountains and rivers, the profundity of philosophical thought, the faithful transmission of classical verse, and the ideals of statecraft and official loyalty.

​

For centuries, countless individuals have devoted their lives to its study and practice. What makes calligraphy so compelling is that it is not merely an aesthetic pursuit, but a philosophy—and ultimately, a discipline of life itself. Between lifting the brush and setting it down, every nuance—the weight of the wrist, the speed of the brush tip, the density of the ink—is a true reflection of the inner state of mind.

The University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong is pleased to present the special exhibition Ink Rhymes Through a Millennium: Calligraphy by Cheung Cheuk Wai from 16 October 2026 through 10 January 2027. The display features works by the late Hong Kong calligrapher Cheung Cheuk Wai, covering a wide range of scripts and themes, showcasing the millennia-long history of Chinese characters. It offers a step into the world of brush and ink, to appreciate—between each stroke and each dot—not only Mr. Cheung’s lifelong devotion to calligraphy, but also the beauty of Chinese characters and the profound depth of Chinese culture.
