A Study of Several Versions of the 'Hai Character Edition' of The Essay on Yue Yi
拙文出版,敬請指教。 這篇文章其實早在數年前便已開始撰寫,但期間因其他研究題目與迫切事務陸續插入,長時間進度停滯。直到2025年上半年於普林斯頓大學客座訪問期間,得以暫時放下公私諸務,才終於將其完成。 感謝普林斯頓大學藝術與考古系的邀請,這半年的訪問期間成為我得以暫時喘息並追趕研究進度的珍貴時光。 感謝兩位匿名審稿人的寶貴意見與指正,並感謝《故宮學術季刊》編輯團隊的協助。 拙文或仍有諸多未盡完善之處,尚祈各方不吝指教。 _____________________________ 〈海字本〈樂毅論〉若干版本考〉,《故宮學術季刊》43卷2期(2025),頁1-57。 “A Study of Several Versions of the 'Hai Character Edition' of The Essay on Yue Yi ,” The National Palace Museum Research Quarterly , 43:2, pp. 1-57. _____________________________ Abstract Wang X

The Way Women Should Be is to Walk Their Own Paths: Lu Hui-Wen on How "Walking Their Own Paths" Rewrites History of Taiwanese Women Calligraphers (ARTouch 典藏/JING-HUA, LEE)
This interview by LEE JING-HUA was originally posted on ARTouch 典藏 (2025.10.1)and Artco Monthly & Investment (No.387, 2025.10)。 「臺灣書法史上,女性在哪裡?」 這不僅是一個簡單的提問,更是「自由自在:臺灣當代女性書藝展」策展人盧慧紋在訪談中反覆提及的現狀:「如果你問任何人,知不知道臺灣有什麼女性書法家?他只要是對臺灣當代藝術有一點概念的人,就回答『董陽孜』,之後便想不起別人。」一個名字之後,便是一片巨大的空白。這份長久以來的集體失語,正是這場展覽的破冰之處,並不尖銳抵抗,反而以溫柔而堅定的姿態,試圖補寫那段在既有藝術史敘事中長期被忽略的女性篇章。 一段待補遺的篇章,一段自由自在的路徑 展覽命題的過程本身,即是對「女性」定位的一次深刻思索。策展人盧慧紋反思,她更進一步探問:在身分標籤之外,女性的生命樣態究竟為何?最終,展覽由英文副標「Walking Their Own Paths」回譯為:「自由自在」。對此,盧慧紋解釋:
