Voyaging to reveal the verse

China Daily  

The Way to Poetry, by Lin Haizhong and his team, a piece of artwork shown at the Gallery of Calligraphy and Painting Channel in Beijing's Olympic Forest Park until Dec 21. Back in the late 1980s, Zhu Yuebing, a scholar from Shaoxing in Zhejiang province with a passion for Tang Dynasty poetry, started a research movement dubbed "the trail of Tang poems", in which he and others interested in the topic spent time studying places the ancient poets had visited in Zhejiang, a region of mighty mountains and rivers, and the poems they composed en route. In 2020, a year after the scholar passed away, artists and curators at the China Academy of Art, in Zhejiang's provincial capital of Hangzhou, were motivated by his devotion to Tang poetry to start their travel and art project, The Way to Poetry, in honor of his spirit. A selection of the work produced as part of the project over the past three years is now on show at Mountain Trail of Infinite Longing, an exhibition being held at the Gallery of Calligraphy and Painting Channel in Beijing's Olympic Forest Park until Dec 21.
