“秋窗犹透读书灯，墨影摇风字句明。”时序渐深，智慧的火光却愈发灼亮。值此科技浪潮奔涌之际，艺术学者周鲒教授携《AI都来了，还看什么书》主题讲座走进ASJ校园。以书为舟、以艺为桨，带领学子溯游人类精神的浩瀚长河。从达·芬奇式的跨界哲思，到《纯真博物馆》的恋物深情；从孙悟空动画的百年蜕变，到“若天理不容，我便逆转沧海”的孤勇呐喊——这场讲座，不仅是一场与天才的对话，更是一次在AI时代叩问本心的觉醒之旅。

讲座伊始，周鲒教授以“AI都来了，还看什么书”为切入点，强调在技术浪潮中，艺术与阅读的不可替代性。通过书籍和艺术，人类能保持对自我、真相的探索，抵御工具理性对精神的消解。

周鲒教授以《西游记》动画形象演变、奥尔罕·帕慕克《纯真博物馆》等为例，分析艺术如何记录时代、传递情感。动画不仅是形象创作，更是文化符号的延续。

讲座后段周鲒教授结合展览案例（如阿璞艺术展）、文学金句（“生的对立面是遗忘”）等，揭示艺术如何映射人类共同命运，呼吁在浮躁时代守护人文精神与集体记忆。

由莫嘉宁老师主持的《墨彩流芳》讲座，带领我们以一方古墨为匙，启开千年文房的雅致秘境。从百爵图石绿墨的天然矿彩，到描金勾勒的寸寸匠心；从王阳明“格物致知”的哲思，到宝瓶兽形墨锭的无声诗画——这场讲座，不仅是一次对传统匠艺的深情凝视，更是一场跨越时空的文化对话，让沉寂的墨香在当代重焕“为善去恶”的精神之光。

莫嘉宁老师在讲座中系统介绍了古代文房雅器的种类与功能，包括湖笔、徽墨、宣纸、端砚等“文房四宝”，以及臂搁、镇纸、笔架、水丞等辅助用具，强调其在文人生活中的美学意义与文化象征。

蘸一抹金辉，落笔于墨色方寸之间——在莫嘉宁老师的带领下，孩子们正沉浸在一场跨越百年的“描金”艺术课中。  

描金，这门源自中国传统文房的绝技，以金银为墨、匠心为笔，在墨锭上勾勒出繁复细腻的纹样。孩子们屏息凝神，学着老师的样子，将《百爵图》的雀影、《格物致知》的哲言，一笔一画镌刻于墨面，每一道金线都在诉说“慢工出细活”的古老智慧。  

公益美育课程融入ASJ课堂已三年有余。这一实践突破传统教育对课本知识的单一侧重，为学生搭建起释放创造力与想象力的平台。通过艺术实践，学生得以自由表达情感、疏解学业压力，在审美体验中实现身心的平衡与成长。

‘The autumn window is still penetrated by the reading lamp, the ink shadow shakes the wind and the words are clear.’ The time is getting deeper and deeper, but the light of wisdom is getting brighter and brighter. On the occasion of this wave of technology, art scholar Professor Zhou jack brought his lecture ‘AI is here, what books are there to read’ to ASJ campus. Using books as boats and art as paddles, he led the students to explore the vastness of the human spirit. From Da Vinci's cross-border philosophical thinking to the deep love of the Museum of Innocence; from the centuries-old transformation of the Monkey King animation to the lonely cry of ‘If heaven's justice is not to be tolerated, I'll reverse the sea’ - this lecture is not only a dialogue with geniuses, but also an opportunity to ask about the heart in the age of AI. This lecture is not only a dialogue with genius, but also a journey of awakening in the age of AI.

Professor Zhou took ‘AI is here, why read books’ as the starting point, emphasising the irreplaceability of art and reading in the midst of the technological wave. Through books and art, human beings can maintain their exploration of self and truth, and resist the dissolution of spirituality by instrumental rationality.

Hosted by Ms Jianing Mo, the lecture ‘Ink Colours and Fragrance’ leads us to the secret of the elegance of a thousand-year old literati room, using a piece of ancient ink as a key. From the natural mineral colours of the stone green ink of the Hundred Dukes of Mercy, to the inches of craftsmanship of the gold outline; from the philosophical thoughts of Wang Yangming's ‘to achieve knowledge through materialism’, to the silent poems of the ink ingots in the shape of the beasts in the vase, the seminar is not only an affectionate look at the traditional craftsmanship, but also a cultural dialogue that spans across the space and time, allowing the silent ink fragrance to rejuvenate itself in the contemporary era. This lecture is not only a deep gaze at traditional craftsmanship, but also a cultural dialogue across time and space, allowing the silent ink to revive the light of the spirit of ‘doing good and doing evil’ in the present day.

Gold tracing, a skill originating from traditional Chinese literati, uses gold and silver as ink and craftsmanship as a pen to outline complex and delicate patterns on the ink ingots. The children held their breath and followed the teacher's example, engraving the shadow of the bird in ‘The Hundred Jewels’ and the philosophical words in ‘The Way of Knowledge’ on the ink surface with a single stroke, and each gold line was telling the ancient wisdom of ‘slow work makes fine work’.

It has been more than three years since the public service aesthetics programme was integrated into the ASJ classroom. This practice breaks away from the traditional focus on textbook knowledge and provides a platform for students to unleash their creativity and imagination. Through the practice of art, students are able to freely express their emotions, relieve academic pressure, and achieve physical and mental balance and growth through aesthetic experiences.
