維新百日出亡十六年三週大地遊遍四洲經三十一國行六十萬哩Kang Youwei (1858-1927, alternative name Zuyi, 祖詒; Guangxia, 廣廈; Gengsheng, 更生; Changsu, 長素) is a native of Nanhai, Guangdong province. He passed the national exam and earned the jinshi degree in 1895 during the Guangxu reign. He was known for his calligraphy and political ideology. Realizing the challenging issues the late Qing court encountered, Kang Youwei led a movement that tried to establish a constitutional monarchy, similar to the British political system. Supported by the emperor Guangxu, Kang Youwei, along with his famed student, Liang Qichao, launched the Hundred Days’ Reform in 1898. But the Dowager Empress suppressed this reform and ordered Kang Youwei to be executed. Kang had to flee to Japan where he continued promoting his political ideas. After the Qing dynasty fell and Sun Zhongshan established the Republic of China, Kang Youwei still wished to put his idea for a constitutional monarchy into practice. He published Kongzi gaizhi kao, Xinxue weijing kao, and Datong shu to express his political views.
Kang Youwei’s most influential publication on calligraphy is Guang yizhou shuangji. Based on the ideas of Bao Shichen and Ruan Yuan (1764-1849), Kang Youwei promoted the importance and significance of the stele school by surveying Qing calligraphy works. His own calligraphy reflects his study on stele writings from Northern Dynasties, expressing strength of brush and ink as in this pair scrolls.
Kang Youwei wrote this couplet for his friend Weihe. The poem, “Mountains and rivers contain virtue, wind and clouds embrace aspirations,” seems very powerful because of the bold, and sometime dry brushes. For example, the first two characters on the right scroll, wind (feng) and cloud (yun), present the motion of nature by moving the strokes freely with both wet and dry brushes. These running scripts combine the characteristic of clerical script, in which all the characters are composed steadily and firmly. Although the composition of each character looks very open at the first glance, the internal structure is built tightly. With both round and square stroke endings, the entire piece creates a balance between power and conservation.

Main motifs in the prose of the leftist author Kang Kyŏng-ae
Get PDFThe subject of this bachelor thesis is the life and work of the Korean writer Kang Kyǒng-ae, with a focus on her short prose. The aim of this thesis is an analysis of two works - Salt and Darkness - with attention to the context of the author's time. Nowadays, Kang Kyǒng-ae is considered a significant author of the 1930s and her works reflect the phenomenon of Korean emigrants in Manchuria. For a long time, leftist tendencies caused her prose to be neglected, which resulted in a considerably limited number of studies concerned with her work, in comparison to the number of studies about other writers. There are virtually no Czech studies of her work. The text of the thesis initially presents the timeframe of Kang's authorship and then analyzes select works of hers. The analysis of the works focuses on recurring motifs, which are put into a historical and social context. Keywords Kang Kyǒng-ae, Korean 1930s literature, leftist literature, Sogǔm, Ǒdu
