Southwest of Jat Sen Hall, at No. 565 in the Northwest Area, stands another grand and elegant building that blends Chinese and Western architectural styles—Luk Yau Hall. The wooden plaque under the eaves on the northern side of the building has long been weathered and its inscriptions are barely legible, making it difficult for visitors to identify the hall’s name. However, in the university archives, we actually discovered the handwritten inscriptions by two esteemed elders, which is an honor not bestowed upon any other buildings. Both calligraphers infused their work with the artistic intent of “melding the essence of metal and stone into brush strokes”: Mr. Yung Kwai’s inscription is in regular script, upright and vigorous; Mr. Shang Chengzuo’s is in small seal script, retaining an ancient charm. Observations suggest that the current wooden plaque originally featured Mr. Shang’s calligraphy.
