Who is Sending a Letter Far through Clouds? : The Artistic World within Decorated Letter Paper

Beijing Fine Art Academy has long been dedicated to the study and promotion of traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, gradually expanding its research breadth and depth in recent years. This comprehensive exhibition on letter paper, integrating artistry, scholarship, craftsmanship, and public education, is a testament to these efforts. The exhibition's title, "Who is sending a letter far through clouds" is quoted from Li Qingzhao's lyric A Twig of Plum Blossoms.

These lines express the sincere longing of the poetess Li Qingzhao for her husband Zhao Mingcheng during their separation. Such enduring emotional expression, however, has gradually faded in today's world dominated by instant communication. It is hoped that this exhibition will enable visitors to pause beside these serene and beautiful sheets of paper and feel the warmth of emotions that transcend time and space, contained within their modest dimensions.

During the exhibition, Beijing Fine Art Academy will also host a variety of public education activities, such as papermaking and letter-writing workshops, and woodblock watermarking experiences, ushering the public deeper into the artistic and cultural world of "letter paper" and revitalizing traditional culture through hands-on activities.
