The exhibition, which runs from August 29th to October 15th, showcases a rich collection of over 190 pieces (sets) of calligraphy, manuscripts, inscriptions, seals, and other artifacts. The display is divided into two main parts, each offering a unique perspective on the subject matter.
The first part, titled ‘Artistic Heritage’, delves into the lineage of the Zhang family, highlighting their artistic contributions and legacy. This section provides visitors with a historical overview of the family’s influence and their place in the world of art and culture.
The second part, ‘The Intersection of Humanity and the Sea’, focuses on Mr. Zhang Xi Gong’s academic career and his scholarly impact. It is organized around four themes: ‘Teachers and Friends’, ‘Encouragement of Learning’, ‘Teaching and Cultivating Etiquette’, and ‘Writing and Commentary’. These themes provide a comprehensive look at Mr. Zhang’s academic pursuits and his role in shaping intellectual discourse.
In conclusion, the exhibition briefly touches upon the Chinese system of rites and music, drawing from archaeological findings and local customs as documented in the ‘Songjiang Prefecture Annals’. This final segment offers a glimpse into the cultural practices and traditions that have shaped the region’s history.
Please note that the specific operating conditions of the exhibition are subject to the day’s circumstances.
