Museum of Calligraphy in Stone supplied exhibits for the “Great Chinese Calligraphy and Painting” exhibition

Calligraphy is something more than the art of writing characters on xuanzhi paper – the fine handwriting can be found on different mediums, including silk, hand fans, screens or even stones. Carving of hieroglyphic signs on hard surfaces is one of the most ancient styles of calligraphy. The idea behind the “Great Chinese Calligraphy and Painting” exhibition was to showcase many various types of calligraphy, and that is why a partner of the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy, the Museum of Calligraphy in Stone from Heilongjiang province, supplied a selection of stone calligraphy exhibits for the event.

The Museum of Calligraphy in Stone produced two marble boards tailored to the exhibition, which read “The Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy,” and “The 70th anniversary of establishing diplomatic ties between Russia and China.” Both calligraphy inscriptions are made in gold paint. The Museum Director, Mr. He Shuling, had delivered the stones in person.
