“Man Jiang Hong — Dubai” Regular Script by Yu Zhiqian
Sharjah Calligraphy Museum, UAE | August 2024
Description:
This regular script calligraphy work by Yu Zhiqian from Zhejiang, China, features his original patriotic-style poem inspired by Dubai, titled “Man Jiang Hong — Dubai.” Adopting the structure and spirit of the classic ci-form “Man Jiang Hong,” the poem pays tribute to Dubai’s modern grandeur — from the Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa to its mosques, harbors, and desert wonders.
The brushwork is strong and elegant, structured yet vigorous. Yu’s calligraphy echoes the confidence and clarity of his poetic composition, honoring both architectural and cultural landmarks with a timeless aesthetic.

“Glass sails fly above sixty decks, the hotel pierces sky.

Mosques echo the muezzin’s call, red-scaled fish flash tales.”
