Pun Sun-on), organized such literary gatherings for two decades, during 1972 to 1991, consecutively. They brought together literati in Hong Kong for drinking, composing poems, making paintings and calligraphy, as well as playing music and chess. These literary gatherings were held in Nam Tin Chuk Temple in Tsuen Wan, Yan Lo on Kam Shan of Taipo, Wun Chuen Sin Kwoon in Fanling, etc., contributing greatly to the development of Hong Kong classical poetry, paintings, and calligraphy. |
