TENFU CALLIGRAPHY AND PAINTING ROOM
Chinese put writing, playing chess, playing musical instruments, painting,
drinking wine and tea, as the seven scholars must be capable of. Calligraphy and
painting have long been related with tea and have benefited from each other.
"Tea nurtures the scholar's mind." Scholars seek inspiration from tea when
writing and painting at the same time express their love for tea in their
writing and paintings. The purpose of the TenFu tea Museum's TenFu Calligraphy
and Painting Room is to unite tea naturally with poems, books and paintings so
as to create an elegant environment of tea culture.
There are four halls in the calligraphy
and Painting Room:
1. A
main exhibition room showing the calligraphy and painting collected by the Room;
2. A flexible exhibition room regularly displaying personal or specialized
calligraphy and painting exhibition; 3. A rare stone house exhibiting rare
stones and handicrafts from different places; and 4. A calligraphy hall offering
place for calligraphy activities.

When the TenFu Museum was first
opened, "An Exhibition of Calligraphy and Painting Collected by Late Premier
Zhou Enlai" was showed in the flexible exhibition room from January 7 to
February 7, 2002. Works of contemporary well-known calligraphers and painters
including genuine works by Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Zhao Pochu, Qi Gong, Sha
Menghai etc. were displayed. |
