提起匹兹堡大詩人黃翔,本報讀者一定不陌生,因爲我們曾經多次刋登他的作品及他的詩歌。黃翔追求詩歌藝術,他是一個寬容和理解的人,記得去年我採訪他的時候,他曾經十分感嘅地説:我全身都流着熱愛中國人的血液,他還將他的二排肋骨比做一條是黃河,一條是長江。前不久他還爲本報第二屆伊利杯題詞,人們評價他是二十世紀中國文學史上的活化石。
上個月我應黃翔夫婦邀請,到匹兹堡去見和黃翔一起創作The Century
Mountain Project的Mr. William Rock, 當我和他們自我介紹完後,便和Mr. William聊起來,Mr.
William對黃翔除了珍重敬佩以外,他更認爲黃翔詩人的文學修養及才華是沒有人可以相比的,尤其是黃翔的中文書法無與倫比。他們還吿訴我只要他們到哪里去出展他們的作品,每一個人都喜歡,從他們的畫中感受到人的能量。從藝術角度來講,它沒有文化、性別或種族區別,它們有一個共同的固有信任和經驗性的"源"
,使他們能創造藝術一體,
目前他們都將世界名人莫扎特、尼採、林肯、甘地、梵高的畫像加黃翔的書法聯繫在一起的,他們都體現了文化藝術的復興,中西文化沒有距離,如果他們的畫一旦被世界認同,中國的書法和西洋畫融合一起,都將被認同,他們是創新,中西藝術文化精髓合併交融。
黃翔讓越來越多的外國人接觸和瞭解中國文化,本報要讓越來越多的人瞭解這位詩人,感謝他在宣傳和弘揚中國文化上所作的貢獻。 |

The Century Mountain Project honors the
greatness in us as human beings that has made itself evident
throughout the centuries in the form of great creators, thinkers,
leaders, discoverers - - essentially people that stood out like
mountains throughout the centuries. This ongoing collaborative artwork
between Huang Xiang and William Rock is a celebration of the vast
potential that is in each one of us. It has no cultural, gender or
race distinctions. Huang Xiang and William Rock do not share the same
spoken language or share the same cultural heritage but they
communicate and collaborate through the language of art. After they
select a subject, Rock paints it and Huang Xiang adds his poetry with
masterful calligraphy. They share an inherent trust and experiential
of the "source" that allows them to create art that unites, connects
and celebrates humanity.
Mozart, Nietzsche, Lincoln,Gandhi, Van Gogh, you and I are
connected. Let's all climb Century Mountain. |

Huang Xiang is one of the greatest poets of 20th century China and a
master calligrapher. Huang Xiang spent over twelve years in Chinese
prisons and was frequently tortured for writing his lyrical,
free-spirited poetry and for his advocacy of human rights in China.
His inspiring story has been the subject of an award winning PBS
documentary. He has been described as a 'poet on fire' a human torch
who burns as a lamp of freedom and enlightenment. Huang Xiang's poetry
and calligraphy is internationally recognized and he has performed for
crowds numbering in the thousands. To read his works, to experience
his poetry performance, to see his calligraphy and to hear of his
personal journey leaves no doubt he is an authentic master. He will
tell you himself, "I must create - no matter what." Ten of his books
have been published in several languages. Huang Xiang and his wife,
the writer Zhang Ling reside in the U.S. where Huang Xiang is Emeritus
Writer-in-Residence with the City of Asylum/Pittsburgh. On Nov. 21,
2004 the Mayor declared "Huang Xiang Day" in the city of Pittsburgh.1

William Rock is both a citizen of Ireland and the U.S. He
studied drawing at The California Art Institute and taught himself to
paint and sculpt by travelling to museums around the world. He has
been immersed in Eastern thought and practice for fifteen years having
studied meditation with Tibetan and Chinese monks. In 2006 his
'transcendent' paintings inspired a month long arts celebration held
in Pittsburgh entitled 'Spirit Unfolding'. William Rock's art has been
displayed in museums in California and Pennsylvania and he has spoken
extensively on the nature of creativity and art.
