Life Journey
The life of Prof. Tai Jingnong (1902–1990) is almost a microcosm of the generation of scholars and writers who moved to Taiwan in the mid-twentieth century. After arriving in Taiwan in 1946, he joined the Department of Chinese Literature at National Taiwan University as a professor and later served as its chair. Over his 27 years of teaching, he nurtured countless talents. Prof. Tai was simultaneously a literary scholar, educator, and calligrapher. Deeply concerned with his country and society, he composed poems, essays, and novels, while also expressing his pursuit of culture and aesthetics through his calligraphy. He has had a profound impact on the development of the humanities and arts in Taiwan, and the title on the official website of National Taiwan University is based on his calligraphy.
