中國文字演進―胡進杉書法展

駐邁阿密臺北經濟文化辦事處(前稱北美事務協調委員會駐邁亞密辦事處)自中華民國77年(1988)10月在佛羅里達州珊瑚閣市設立以來，致力強化臺灣與佛羅里達間各領域雙邊關係。

為進一步推廣臺佛兩地交流及宣揚中華文化，今年 2 月1日起駐邁阿密辦事處促成佛州中華學人協會暨佛州臺灣廠商聯誼會與佛羅里達州政府合作辦理「中國文字演進」書法展，展出臺灣知名書法家胡進杉先生作品，希望藉此展覽豐富臺佛雙邊合作內容並在文化交流方面建立新里程碑。

本書法展作者胡進杉先生學養豐富，現為國立故宮博物院圖書文獻處副處長，此次應佛州中華學人協會暨佛州臺灣廠商聯誼會邀請，提供展現中國文字演進史的各式書法計 16 種字體，32幅字，希望藉此將中文書寫之美及中華文化的博大精深介紹給觀眾。

佛州中華學人協會自民國74年(1985)年創立以來，致力推動臺灣與佛羅里達間之科技合作及學術與文化交流；佛州臺灣廠商聯誼會創立於民國83年(1994)，旨在促進臺灣與佛羅里達間之商務及資訊之交流與合作。兩會能與佛羅里達州政府合辦此一巡迴書法展，極為榮幸。

佛州州務卿戴慈能對本展在州政府大樓22樓藝廊表示歡迎：「佛州政府有幸主辦『中國文字演進―胡進杉書法展』這麼重要的展覽殊感榮耀，國際文化交流豐富藝術家生涯，改善藝術品質及文化機構地位，並有助於增加參與的觀眾。」

透過對藝術的持續欣賞，文化交流有助於國際政經關係之強化。藝術提供人與人互動與信賴的途徑，激發靈感並拓展美感潛質。經由真誠的文化交流建立的友誼與理解終將促進國際和平。文化交流亦有助於國際共同價值的深層理解。展現一族羣特殊成就以充實另一族羣―將使所有參與者都藉以提升。

臺灣向以領航中華文化為己任，在文化保存與藝術傳揚方面不遺餘力，書法展是靜態的，歡迎所有的朋友們前往科技進步創新與文化生活多元的寶島臺灣觀光訪問，實地體驗臺灣人民的熱情好客，親眼目睹自由、民主、開放的社會裡人民的生活方式，並觀賞寶島的富麗美景，品嚐集合中外精華的著名美食及參觀藏有眾多瑰寶的國立故宮博物院！

Since its establishment in October 1988 in Coral Gables, Florida, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Miami (TECO in Miami, formerly the Coordination Council for North American Affairs, Miami Office) has devoted itself to the promotion of bilateral relations between Taiwan and the State of Florida.

In order to further enhance Taiwan-Florida cultural exchange and advocate the richness of Chinese culture, TECO in Miami assists in presenting “The Development of Chinese Character Scripts – Calligraphy by HU Ching-San from Taiwan,” an exhibit jointly hosted by the Chinese American Scholars and Professionals Association of Florida (CASPAF), Florida Taiwan Business Association Foundation, Inc. (FTBA), and the government of the State of Florida. The exhibition, from February 1, to April 30, 2016, is a circuit exhibition displaying thirty-two calligraphic works of Mr. HU Ching-san. The presentation of Mr. HU’s work marks a milestone in cross-cultural exchange, as it enriches the cultural fabric shared between Taiwan and the State of Florida.

At the request of CASPAF and FTBA, the cultivated and well-learned HU Ching-san, Deputy Chief Curator of the Department of Rare Books of the National Palace Museum of the Republic of China (Taiwan), has provided sixteen types of calligraphic art that depict the development of Chinese characters. Through introducing audiences to the beauty of Chinese calligraphy, the exhibition aims to display the depth and power of Chinese culture.

Since its establishment in 1985, the Chinese American Scholars and Professionals Association of Florida (CASPAF) has made great contribution to the strengthening of scientific, technical and academic, and cultural exchange between Taiwan and the State of Florida. Florida Taiwan Business Association Foundation, Inc. (FTBA), established in 1994, has dedicated itself to the exchange and cooperation of commerce and trade information between Taiwan and Florida. CASPAF and FTBA are proud to have the honor of co-hosting the exhibition together with the State of Florida.

Florida Secretary of State, Ken Detzner welcomes this exhibition in the 22^nd Floor Capitol Gallery. 

“We are honored to host this important exhibit of the Development of Chinese Character Scripts – Calligraphy by Hu Ching-San from Taiwan. International cultural exchanges enrich the lives of artists, improve artistic qualities and capabilities of cultural organizations, and help build audiences.”

Cultural Exchanges also promote economic and political relations among nations through an increased awareness of one of the most fundamental aspects of society – the arts. The arts provide a people-to-people relationship, an effective path to intimacy, authenticity, and trust, igniting inspiration and exploring aesthetic possibilities. In the long run promoting peace among nations through friendships and the understanding that result from genuine cultural exchanges. Because the arts and culture play a major role in the fabric of societies, cultural exchanges can, and often do, lead to a deeper understanding of shared values between nations. Showcasing the unique accomplishments of one group for the enrichment of another – that is one experience that is always transforming for everyone involved. 

Taiwan has long taken upon itself the role of a standard-bearer at the leading edge of Chinese culture, and has dedicated itself to the preservation of culture as well as the propagation of the arts. The host organizations welcome and encourage all friends to visit the technology-advanced and multi-cultural Taiwan. Go and experience the world-renowned hospitality and passion of Taiwanese people. See with your own eyes the way of living in a free, democratic, and open society. Enjoy the spectacular scenery of this beautiful island. Taste the famous delicious cuisines that not only combine the essences of the old and the new, but are also from all over the world. And, most of all, be sure to visit the place that preserves a great many treasures – the National Palace Museum.
