Grand View - Night of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Treasures - Modern and Contemporary Times
Chang Dai-chien has a special affinity with Mount Huangshan Mountain. Since he was 28 years old, he has visited Mount Huangshan Mountain three times in his life. He has filled his suitcase with sketches, taken hundreds of landscape photos, and composed hundreds of poems to praise and recite the wonders of Mount Huangshan Mountain. He explored the characteristics and beauty of Mount Huangshan Mountain from multiple perspectives. It is known as "the last master of Mount Huangshan Painting School".

Chang Dai-chien
Chang Dai-chien has a deep affection for Mount Huangshan, leaving many wonderful books, paintings and movies, and more than 100 travel poems chanting Mount Huangshan, bringing every scenic spot of Mount Huangshan into his poetic and artistic atmosphere. Chang Dai-chien once carved the four magnificent characters "Ocean of Clouds, Big Thousand" on the huge stone wall of Yupinglou in Mount Huangshan. He has reached the "transformation" of Mount Huangshan Mountain by "losing his appearance and taking the spirit". Mount Huangshan has become a nostalgia for his family and country that will accompany him throughout his life.

In 1963, the ten women Xinrui and his wife came to Brazil to visit relatives. When they talked about their trip to Mount Huangshan Mountain, they touched the homesickness of Daqian. The twelve scenic spots of Mount Huangshan are clear and natural. A complete set of albums, mostly created in the early years, can be considered a masterpiece in the 1960s. Yang Fan, the leader of the Immortal Relegation Hall, has a very rich collection of Chang Dai-chien, but he never forgets this set of Twelve Wonders of Huangshan Mountain, and has cherished it up to now. The three wonders of poetry, calligraphy, and painting, painted on rich gilded cardboard, have become a rare twelve frame wonder in the late years of Da Qian. That is the nostalgia of a thousand years old, the footsteps in the corridor of time, the past that never ends.
