About the site

Without the past, there is no future.

Traditional Chinese culture is long lost.  This site aims to preserve and pass on the forgotten wisdom of traditional Chinese culture through Chinese calligraphy and concise English translations.

Throughout its long history, Chinese calligraphy has always been intermingled with tradition Chinese culture.  As such, understanding one allows the appreciation of the other.
About KS Vincent Poon
KS Vincent Poon (潘君尚) was born in British Hong Kong and emigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1987. Currently, he is a high school mathematics, chemistry, and physics teacher at the Toronto District School Board (TDSB).

At the age of 6, he was taught the art of Chinese calligraphy by his father Kwok Kin Poon (潘國鍵, PhD HKU), a well-respected scholar and Chinese calligrapher who practices the art for over fifty years in Hong Kong and Canada (1)(2).  During his formal education of becoming a biochemist and a teacher (CV here), he continued to study traditional Chinese calligraphy and Chinese culture under his father's tutelage.

In 2018, he published his first book on Chinese calligraphy, A Narrative on Calligraphy by Sun Guoting - Translated by KS Vincent POON and Kwok Kin POON.
"義 (Do What Should Be Done)", scribbled by KS Vincent Poon, at the age of six
