南來文人‧人文來南––嶺南文人與百年香江文教展 Southbound Intellectuals and Their Legacy: Lingnan Literati’s Contribution to a Century of Hong Kong Education
自晚清民國百年以來，南來的廣東文人對中國傳統文化在香港的傳承和發展有深遠的影響。人文南來，不但創辦各類學校以培育人才，結社雅集，唱和揮毫，寄情抒懷，傳遞人文精神與氣節，同時亦創辦刊物，舉行展覽，以保存及推廣博大精深的中華文化瑰寶，把濃厚的中國傳統文化氛圍與文人的風雅帶到香江。文脈南傳，經學藝文等代代相傳的國粹在此地興盛一時。
是次展覽將從二十位南來文人的生平出發，透過珍稀書刊、文人合照、報章文獻及文人著述畫作等展品，展現南來文人在香港的行跡、文化教育活動及其重要貢獻。
Southbound intellectuals had had a profound impact on the heritage and evolution of traditional Chinese culture in Hong Kong over the past century since the late Qing and Republican era. These Lingnan literati established schools and other educational institutions for nurturing talents, founded literary societies and poetry gatherings to facilitate literary expression and exchange, and celebrated the humanity and integrity of the traditional ideal Chinese scholar. They also launched newspapers and magazines and organized exhibitions to preserve and promote the traditional Chinese culture in Hong Kong. The rich and enduring legacy of the traditional Chinese classics, art, and literature followed the southbound journey of these intellectuals to Hong Kong and flourished in the city.
Tracing the footprints of twenty southbound intellectuals in Hong Kong, this exhibition will display their rare publications and manuscripts, photographs, as well as calligraphy and paintings, to showcase the Lingnan literati’s contribution to a century of Hong Kong education.
