Calligraphy as Living Art: Selections from the Jill Sackler Chinese Calligraphy Competition
活着的书法：吉尔•赛克勒中国书法竞赛选萃

Calligraphy remains a vital art form in an increasingly modernized China. For instance, duilian 对联 (calligraphic New Year’s couplets) are considered an important part of the traditional decoration of the Chinese New Year. This exhibition consisted of works by winners of the Jill Sackler Chinese Calligraphy Competition, a biannual national competition held in China to promote the preservation of calligraphy. The works were created by people of all ages, occupations, and ethnicities within China, and were exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution in 1994.
