Su Shi and the Cultural Landscape of Lingnan: From Writing Local to Border-Crossing Transmission of the Paintings of Fragrant Dream of Luofu
| Date: | 2026/11/28 (Saturday) |
| Time: | 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F) |
| Description: | The Song dynasty scholar-official Su Shi (1037–1101) is renowned for his accomplishments and extensive impact on literature and the arts. His works created during his later years in exile in Huizhou were crucial in reshaping the human geography and heritage of Lingnan. His writings praising Lingnan recorded the local places, customs, and natural products. Although he only visited Mount Luofu once, his timeless verses adorned the mountain, and he contributed to transform Lingnan from a peripheral region into a culturally significant one. This talk focuses on Su Shi's poems, calligraphy, and cultural heritage as a starting point to examine his promotion of local knowledge in Lingnan and his contributions to shaping the cultural landscape of Mount Luofu. It will further explore the origins of the landscape in the Plum Village of Luofu and the flourishing of the Paintings of Fragrant Dream of Luofu since the mid-Qing Dynasty, focusing on their visual representation and cross-regional transmission. It ultimately demonstrates Su Shi’s unique place in the construction of Lingnan’s historical sites and in Chinese art history. |
