上海市政协主席 冯国勤
中华文明绵延数千年，至今傲立於世界民族之林，与每当危难关头我们民族总有志士仁人捨身救国息息相关。
从19世纪40年代起，中国逐步沦为半殖民地半封建社会。面对西方列强的野蛮侵略和清王朝的腐朽，以孙中山先生为代表的一批革命志士，“亟拯斯民於水火，切扶大厦之将倾”，为了民族独立和人民解放，为了国家富强和人民富裕，同帝国主义和封建势力进行了前赴后继、可歌可泣的抗争。辛亥革命推翻了清王朝的统治，结束了延续几千年的君主专制制度，极大地推动了中华民族的思想解放，为中国先进分子探索救国救民的道路打开了新的视野，是中国人民为改变自己命运而奋起革命的一个伟大里程碑。
先人已去，精神犹存。辛亥革命的另一重要遗产，在於变革过程中先驱们留给我们宝贵的政治思想财富。除孙中山先生的著作之外，邹容的《革命军》、林觉民的《与妻书》、秋瑾的《对酒》等诗文，或思想深邃，或豪情万丈，都曾启迪世人，激励来者，成为中华民族思想宝库中的瑰宝，在我们为实现中华民族伟大复兴而奋斗的征程上，仍然具有重要的启迪和教育意义。
有鉴於此，藉纪念辛亥革命一百年之际，上海市政协组织沪上艺术家围绕《辛亥人物与思想•美术创作展》进行创作，旨在借助传统书画艺术的手法，展现先人风采，传承先人思想，鼓舞我们在全面建设小康社会的道路上奋勇前行。
本次创作涉及书法、绘画、篆刻等领域，包括《纪念辛亥百年戴敦邦绘人物谱》作品一百幅、《纪念辛亥百年名家书法集》作品一百件、《纪念辛亥百年名家印存》作品一百方。
本册为《纪念辛亥百年名家书法集》，内容选自四十五位辛亥名人的诗文名句，由陈佩秋、高式熊、周慧珺、林曦明、韩敏、周志高、章汝奭、韩天衡等二十九位艺术家倾情奉献，艺术地表现了辛亥历史的光辉思想，同时展现了当今海派书法的面貌，具有丰富的思想性和艺术性。值此出版之际，谨向各位艺术家表示衷心的感谢！
Preface
Feng Guoqin
Chairman of Shanghai Municipal Political Consultative Conference
With a long history that can be dated back to thousands of years ago, China remains a giant among all the nations across the world, and whenever she was trapped in jeopardy, there have always been patriots standing up, with no fear for death and with full devotion to the country, and fighting hard for her.
Since 1840s, China gradually slipped into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Against the savage invasion by western forces and the corruption of the Government of Qing Dynasty, some revolutionists, led by Sun Yat-sen, set off an unceasing and courageous campaign against the imperialist and feudal forces, with the aim to “save people from mire and fire and raise the Country that was about to fall apart”, with the goal of national independence and liberation, and with a grand vision of a powerful China and affluent living conditions of Chinese people. The Xinhai Revolution, putting an end to the monarchy that had continued for thousands of years, has driven forward greatly the emancipation of minds of the Chinese people, and has unveiled a brand-new perspective for those who dedicated themselves to seeking ways to save China and her people. The revolution is a remarkable milestone that marks the endeavors of Chinese people struggling to change their destiny.
Long gone have they been, their spirit permanently lasts. Among the precious heritage left by the Revolution, we can see abundant political theories and thoughts. Besides the works of Sun Yat-sen, there had been lots of inspirational literary works to the credit of those revolutionists, such as “Revolutionary Army” by Zou Rong, “Letter to My Wife” by Lin Juemin, and “Ode to Wine” by Qiu Jin.Those works, either deep in thought or imposing and overwhelming in effect, have inspired lots of people, and they can be acclaimed as literature treasures in Chinese culture. They are also inspirational particularly when we are now on our way to the revival of our great nation.
Therefore, at the 100th anniversary of Xinhai Revolution, organized by Shanghai Municipal Political Consultative Conference, artists in Shanghai embarked upon the preparation of “Xinhai Figures and Their Thoughts • Fine Art Exhibition”, trying to represent the heroic deeds and deep thoughts of those revolutionists in front of us with traditional painting skills, and spur us forward toward the goal of establishing a well-off society.
The exhibition covers a myriad of areas such as calligraphy, paintings and seal cutting, including 100 paintings of “Figures in Xinhai Revolution Drawn by Dai Dunbang in Memory of the 100th Anniversary of Xinhai Revolution”, 100 pieces of “Calligraphic Works by Famous Calligraphers in Memory of the 100th Anniversary of Xinhai Revolution”, and 100 pieces of “Seals carved by Famous Seal Cutters in Memory of the 100th Anniversary of Xinhai Revolution”.
This volume is “Calligraphic Works by Famous Calligraphers in Memory of the 100th Anniversary of Xinhai Revolution”. Poems and articles originally created by 45 Xinhai revolutionists, now written down by 29 renowned calligraphers such as Chen Peiqiu, Gao Shixiong, Zhou Huijun, Lin Ximing, Han Min, Zhou Zhigao, Zhang Rushi and Han Tianheng, represent the glorious thoughts and history of Xinhai Revolution in an artistic manner. Therefore, I would also take this opportunity upon the publishing of the work to extend my sincere thank to them for their excellent contribution.
