This book was published with an exhibition that celebrated the cultural journey of early Chinese calligraphers in Singapore. Featuring calligraphy pieces, including oracle, seal, clerical, walking and cursive scripts, by Singapore's pioneer artist-educators Chan San Sheh, Tsue Ta Tee, Pan Shou, and See Hiang To, among others, the essay and exhibits attest to the fluent styles mastered and handed down by these early calligraphers and their significant contribution to Singapore's cultural heritage.
