We have carefully selected a collection of 20 exquisite paintings and calligraphy by Prof. Jao Tsung-i, accompanied by 50 cherished photographs captured during his worldwide travels. These features Prof Jao’s interpretations of landscapes from different corners of the world, including his large-scale paintings depiction well-know sites in Hong Kong, China, and overseas. We can observe how he exceptionally reflected the distinct character of each place and represented it using the traditional Chinese medium of ink and brush as well as Western painting style. As the old saying goes, “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books”. While achieving one of these is already incredibly challenging, Prof. Jao not only traversed thousands of miles, surpassing the accomplishments of both ancient masters and numerous contemporary painters.

高駢（822–887）不單是中古時期河內（交趾）要塞的建造者，亦於唐代邊境地區建立了大規模防禦及交通建設，是中越兩地於軍事、政治、思想史上傑出的人物。他一方面是具有感召力的軍事、政治領袖；同時好學而好奇，對道教尤其耽味，好玄秘之術；另一方面更是有才情的詩人。高駢在加速唐朝滅亡和越南自主政權的建立中，均擔任關鍵的角色，這使後世對高駢的評價褒貶並存；甚至在生時已被奉為神明。另高駢於其幕府內亦網羅了一些卓越的文人，這亦有助提升其名望。高駢晚年於淮南割據一方；後來唐亡而五代興──這亦正是自安史之亂以後藩鎮割據局面的頂峰。Gao Pian (822–887), the architect of the medieval citadel of Hanoi and of large-scale defensive and communication works in several frontier regions of China, is a towering figure in the military, political, and intellectual history of both countries. A charismatic governor and commander, inclined to the occult arts of strategy, he was a man of wide learning and curiosity, with a strong attraction to Daoism, as well as a talented poet. In turn reviled and revered, for his pivotal roles in hastening both the end of the Tang and the emergence of Vietnam, Gao Pian became the object of local cults in his own lifetime. The presence of prominent literati on his staff contributed to this renown. At the end of his career, Gao laid the found
