the day of book notation

"Shupu" was first published in the mid-1970s. It is a bimonthly magazine focusing on calligraphy and seal cutting art. The conception, funding, execution, editing, typesetting, and distribution of magazine publishing all come from local people and resources in Hong Kong. The founder's beliefs and goals are clear, and he combines calligraphy with life. This popular magazine is aimed at a broad audience, promoting calligraphy from a pastime in the study rooms of a few people to a life interest for everyone.

The popularity of "Shu Pu" does not only seek to be high-end, but not to seek quality. On the contrary, it takes into account the needs and levels of different readers and truly achieves the appreciation of both refined and popular people. Its success is not an individual case, but a profile of Hong Kong society and culture at that time. Hong Kong's special geographical and historical status made it the gateway between China and Western culture, connecting China and the West. This book is a comprehensive record of this profile, exploring the people and times behind its success - the cultural context of a purely calligraphy magazine.
