Lin Jung-Sen (b. 1966, Wufeng, Taichung) holds a Ph.D. in Chinese Literature from Feng Chia University. He has served in various public and academic roles, including Director of the Changhua County News Bureau and Director of the Nantou County Cultural Affairs Bureau, and has taught at institutions such as China Medical University, Feng Chia University, Asia University, and Chienkuo Technology University. Grounded in traditional calligraphy, Lin’s artistry has earned wide acclaim. He was selected for the Taiwan Provincial Art Exhibition for three consecutive years, granting him permanent exemption from review. He has also received awards including the Ching-Hsi Literary Award, Nanying Art Exhibition Award, National Art Exhibition Award, and the Sun Yat-sen Literary Award.
This work departs from the traditional flat calligraphy format by applying vigorous running-cursive script (hsing-ts’ao) directly onto a ceramic surface. The characters are arranged with dynamic variation and deliberate spacing, showcasing an inventive and expressive layout. The text is drawn from Tang poet Wei Ying-Wu’s (737-792) poem At the Hermitage on Lan Ridge, written as a lyrical reflection on a visit to the Lan Ridge hermitage. Lin frequently incorporates classical poetry into his calligraphic practice as a gesture of respect and cultural continuity. The inscription reads: Transcription: “At sunset, the mountains lie in shadow. In autumn air, a hundred springs resound.” The colophon notes: “Lines from Wei Ying-Wu’s Inscription on Lan Ridge Hermitage. Written by Yu-Ch’i,” followed by a vermilion clerical-style seal reading “Lin” enclosed within a square frame.
