Song lyrics in paintings showcased in Shanghai

The exhibition has received strong support from the Minhang District Committee and Minhang District Government of CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee. The Guiding unit comprises the Publicity Department of the Minhang District Committee of CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee. The organizers are Minhang District Culture and Tourism Bureau of Shanghai Municipality, Xinzhuang Town People's Government of Minhang District of Shanghai Municipality, Minhang District Federation of Literary and Art Circles of Shanghai Municipality and the Xie Zhiliu & Chen Peiqiu Art Center.

The exhibition is in the form of one lyric corresponding to one painting, with the lyric presented in the Chinese-English contrast. The selected poets, including Song Dynasty luminaries Su Shi, Ou Yangxiu, Yanshu and other lyricists, belong to the bold and unconstrained school, the graceful and restrained genre or the patriotic school. In step with the outstanding art and lead translator Xu Yuanchong's precise translations, series II of "Song Lyrics in Paintings" beautifully illustrates Song lyrics' unique connotations and narrates the poets' lives and histories in the perspective of modernists.
