Lanterns

I like the lanterns,a lot.

How beautiful they were.

In Taiwan,

we have lots of temples all over the island.

Actually it's our life,our spiritual stay.

I prefered to take a look the beauty they were than to join the activities they held.

Sometimes too noisy for the limit that I could stand.

TaiChi friends

DeAnn with me(2005,US)

I knew the trend in overseas-lots of westen people like taichi more than our country people.

It might be good to know,

but I still hope the kids in my country they will know what's the traditional art is.

Really know who we are.

U are not alone-U have "it" to bo with you

When you stood behind the piece of calligraphy ,

you are not truly alone,

you have "it"-

might say,

you have "them"-

the thinking from the calligraphor what he(she) like to say to U,

the beauty of the art who he like to present to U.

BLACK and WHITE

Chinese Calligraphy

very simple

always be

black or white

(in the traditional way)

depend on you

which part you like to be shown

But

please take the "balance" all the time.

TaiChi-it's the same.

Forward the future-Having the ability to use digital technic

The photo is not for real in newspaper-

it's a new skill from my blackberry cellphone.

Not bad,right?

(Photoed by Annie in Sweden,2008)

I was not good at computer using bofore,

but I learned so hard.

I think it's a very important skill to live in the future-

by using digital technic in everything,

Especial in my taichi and calligraphy teaching.^_^

I'm still on the way.....

More empty,more relax.

Do you think so?

More emotional,less rational

photoed in Taipei calligraphy exhebition



Do not need to "know" everything very clear on the calligraphy paper,

you can just "feel" it-

less rational,

more emotional....

it's the reason why we call it "art".

The beautiful "FLOW" (1)

You might used to recognize what's the mean for every characters,

But for the one who don't even know the single word,

He(or she) just enjoy the feeling follow the line~

the "flow" we said.

The traditional calligraphy exhebition in Taiwan

Yesterday I went to see a very famous calligraphy exhebition in Taipei,

for the masters in Taiwan and Japan exchanged.

More than 1000 pieces in this show,

I saw lots of wanderful stuffs whatever they are the very traditional style or modernest style.

But,the very important is,

we lost the "audience".

The young people ,the kids,

they don't know how to understand

or enjoy by themselves

in this kind of perfomance.

It's our responsibility to tell them the know how immediately,

right?

How beautiful they are!!

How to teach TaiChi and Calligraphy acrossing the long distance?

This is my lovely dog-Dong Dong

He is an old dog.

Not so healthy,

but still good to enjoy his life.

He is 15 years old.(2008)

I love him-all my heart.

Recently I figured out to take the video for my TaiChi and Calligraphy teaching to upload on YouTube channel,let my friends and students could know how to begin the art learning in overseas.

Do you think it does work?

Why don't you get boring?

Why don't you get boring?

Somebody asked me all the time.

Because the time is changed,

I was changed,

the same work always reflecting who I am.

Life is beautiful

Life is beautiful

Sometimes,

When we were sick,sick serious,

to find someway to make "health" just became a great thing to do in our routine life.

Otherwise,

we ignored that all the time.

I like to have a new TaiChi course for her in a couple weeks later-for a woman got cancer,

she decided not only follow the steps to do with the hospital gave,

has more positive life style is her new plan.

I like to be her partner-

to confront the cancer.

Not for anything,

just for "health".

Choas v.s Quiet

Interesting,

I like to be so quiet,

but I also like to listen some music very "hip-pop" or "R&B" or "Jezz",

very noise,you know.

Mightbe,

I just like to test-

how peaceful and quiet I could be done.^_^

Just like Sean Kingston

I like his song-a lot.

The TaiChi competition I joined first time in overseas(Dallas,USA,2003)

Althought I created something new for my students to learn TaiChi and love it,

I still held tightly about my traditional training about that.

The reason why I learned TaiChi Chuan just because I got hurt in my leg and didn't recover for a long time.Not for being a competitioner,

I thought that's a very good reason for me.

(Because I was a calligraphy competitioner since I was 10 years old. ><

It's not very interesting in my childhood.

Everyday wrote more than 5 hours.....)

So now I introduced the good stuff for my students,

I don't know what's the reason they decided to learned TaiChi and Calligraphy from me,

but I do know,

if I didn't do this work in my country now(or in other countries),

our childrens they will not have the chance to meet them,

and love them.

Might be not easy for me being a pathfinder,

but it's lots of fun,

I think ~I like it.

Simple or Traditional

A shop table light in Sweden (Janpanese store)

means "Love"

It's the chinese

simple chinese character.

Actually in Taiwan,

we use the traditional chinese character.

Which one is better for the future?

I don't know.

But I do know,

connecting the wisdom from ancient people to modern life,

traditional words will be good to do that work.

It might be more compelicate,

but~~~

more beautiful.^_^

a shop sign in Taiwan

means"socks store"

Last how long you can be

In my experience for learning taichi and calligraphy,

more than 13 years(learning calligraphy more than 20 years-I think),

so many friends come and go by my side,

I knew how long you can persist will be not easy to take.

For my students,

it's the same.

Someone can endure and enjoy about that,

another might be not.

It's ok for me,

because I knew you will be try hard for this.

if you gave it up,

you might think about something else you need to do now-

But,

do me a favor,

try another things longer,

not always easy to give up,

ok?

last longer,

test your patience more.

It's the easy way to go for "give up",

the hard way is to be "continuing for fighting".

TaiChi-Calligraphy Modern Image in my mind...︿︿

Let Go

Just let go

Let Go~is not easy.







We always like to "get"(or gather) everything on our own-



money,love,lucky,health,



Wish to hold the great stuffs from the whole world,



and wander that would be very happiness at the top of the world.







It's not for the real,



you get something truly hard,



lost another by your side.



Because you just have 24 hours a day,and "one" life.







Knowing what's the important thing you want,you like,



others you should "let it go".



That's your decision making,



no one can do it but you.

Ten Years to wait

photoed in Taiwan

Ten years-is long enough to learn TaiChi and Calligraphy?
Might be.

To do some work for making the root deeply first,
after follow and understand the paticular rules of writing from lots of calligraphor masters,
you might go your own way.

But no time to pay,
no fruit to get.^_^

The only way to get the fruit is ~
"patience".

[Old is New] Who like to make Modern calligraphy products-ME!

The light

This is a Modern Calligraphy Product in National Palace Museum (Taiwan)

Made from the characters of the famousest chinese calligraphor before.

Whatever the products they made of,

it was all about the same purpose,

to make the old stuff have the new style.

I try to do that too.

Do you like it?

What kind of calligraphy product you like first?

Fight with yourself

To fight,to challenge something new or not

always depend on your own.

Learning from the ancient people

This is the favorite piece at the Museum of SUMI culture I photoed in Kuruna

(the northen land in Sweden)

So simple,

like a very modern design.

We need to learning more anything from the ancient people,

wherever they lived,

Whatever the culture they belonged for,

They creatived something new to make their life easier and safe,and full of beauty.

even in the long long time ago,

But they did,

just like we did(do or will do) now.

Even they didn't have the TV,the car,the computer,the cell phone,

What amazing they were.

Relax-don't be afraid to show yourself off

My lovely dog~Dong Dong

Just relax like him,

Don't be shy,

It's ok,

you can be good enough.

That's really important thing to be.....

relax.
