Synopsis
墨緣, the title of this book, may be translated as "Affinity through Calligraphy." It means the fated affinity and connection between persons that may be brought about by calligraphy. This book is a personal expression of the Chinese art of calligraphy by the author, Mr. Chung Ping Lam. If you see and like the Chinese calligraphic writings in this book, that is a form of "Yuen Fen" 緣份, or fated natural affinity among friends or kindred spirits. This first installment of Mr. Lam's books focuses on the life lessons Mr. Lam has learned or has come to realize in his life, separated into 5 categories: life, living, family, friendship and person. These life lessons are expressed in the form of traditional proverbs and famous sayings written in Chinese calligraphy by Mr. Lam. Mr. Lam hopes the readers will not only be able to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of Chinese calligraphy art, but they will also be able to experience and learn about the life lessons and philosophies that may be helpful to the readers in their own lives. We have seen widespread changes and innovations in today's world. Mr. Lam has also made bold changes to the traditional Chinese calligraphy by changing the black and white setup to color backgrounds. Colors are usually more pleasing to the eyes, and they make Chinese calligraphy more pleasing visually as well. Mr. Lam hopes you will all enjoy and accept this style of Chinese calligraphy. Thank you.《墨緣》這本書是中國書法藝術的個人書寫作品,如果有幸你能够看到、並喜歡它,這就是一種緣份。本書第一集内容"人生感悟",選擇在人生、生活、家庭、朋友和個人的五個方面,人們在生活中對人處事的箴言名句,讀者除了可以欣賞中國書法藝術之美感外,也可從内容部分中,感受到人生的哲理,學習為人處世之道,提供大家在生活中的借鑑。在當前一片改革創新的形勢下,我們對中國傳統書法也大膽進行一些改變,將原來的黑白格局改成彩色的背景,一般來說,彩色是較賞心悅目的,看來效果也不錯,希望大家也喜歡並接受它,謝謝大家。
