dc.description.abstract | The topic of this study is “the research of Tai Jinq-nong’s calligraphy after he moved to Taiwan”. The purpose of the study is to reflect the uniqueness and characteristics of Tai Jinq-nong’s calligraphy. In addition to the introduction and the conclusion, this study is mainly built with three chapters: Tai Jinq-nong’s heart of melancholy, Tai Jinq-nong’s pause and transition in writing, and Tai Jinq-nong’s specific characteristics in writing. The “heart of melancholy” is about Tai Jinq-nong’s resentment and disconsolation. Tai Jinq-nong was imprisoned three times because he was a suspected communist; those experiences brought him a destitute and vagrant early life. At the time when he moved to Taiwan after the war, the environment was extremely unstable and the society was intensely controlled. Due to this political situation, he had to restrain his incisive writing style and work in school to keep a low profile. However, the resentment and disconsolation inside could not only be displayed through the use of metaphor in his poems and papers, but also, most significantly, through his calligraphy. To present the emotion “melancholy”, it is not something that can be fully expressed by using subtle, beautiful, fluent lines; it can only be interpreted through the turbulent and flowing that are created by the pause and transition technique. The pause and transition technique in writing is a distinct characteristic of Tai Jinq-nong. Even though many calligraphers would also use the pause and transition technique to indicate the style of engraving, Tai Jinq-nong was the one who was able to combine varied scripts and skills of calligraphy which form into a style of seal cutting within lines. His style of calligraphy fully brings out the variational characteristic in the pause and transition technique, also expands the sense of strength and vividness. Therefore, this study uses “pause and transition in calligraphy” to elaborate Tai Jinq-nong’s style of writing. Based on Tai Jinq-nong’s imitation of stone rubbings, dedication of seal cutting, and his momentum of plum blossoms drawing, his specific characteristic in writing and lines stands out sharply: with the focus of “pause and transition”, they demonstrate Tai Jinq-nong’s artistic manner in calligraphy.
