Changhua (彰化) County Library - Calligraphy Hall (書道館) Permanent Special Exhibition
Exhibition of Calligraphy Art and Supplies
Since the county was established in the first year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign (1723), the prosperity of Lukang (鹿港) as a commercial port led to a flourishing literary culture, serving as the starting point for the county's cultural development, extending to Changhua (彰化), Yuanlin (員林), Beidou (北斗), Erlin (二林), Hemei (和美), and other places, where masters of poetry, literature, and calligraphy have emerged in succession. Even today, the atmosphere of learning calligraphy in Changhua County remains stronger than in other counties and cities.
Calligraphy art is prevalent, with numerous private associations, most significantly demonstrated in various exhibitions, competitions, and poetry activities. The Changhua County Cultural Affairs Bureau, recognizing the active calligraphy atmosphere, established the Calligraphy Hall in 2015 as an important base for the promotion of calligraphy.
Mr. Nian Wen-yi (粘文意) studied under the calligraphy master Huang Zu-hui (黃祖輝) and has collected calligraphy-related materials for over 50 years since his youth, including calligraphy rubbings, reference books, calligraphy theories, and journals, which are highly acclaimed. As Mr. Nian grew older, grateful for the guidance of his seniors, he decided to provide his lifelong collection of about 2,500 items to the "Calligraphy Hall" for exhibition and research by calligraphy enthusiasts free of charge.
The Calligraphy Hall of the Changhua County Cultural Affairs Bureau takes on the mission of passing on the torch of calligraphy art. As the county's calligraphy research and promotion center, it aims to preserve, research, display, and promote calligraphy, providing a place for public calligraphy education or academic research. It plans permanent and thematic calligraphy exhibitions and regularly holds promotion activities and lectures, allowing the public to rediscover the new value of calligraphy art and enjoy it, thereby comprehensively enhancing the cultural life of the county's citizens.
