A miniature reproduction of Song Dynasty master Zhang Zeduan’s （張擇端） Along the River During the Qingming Festival （清明上河圖） found in a National Yang Ming University classroom is likely to be preserved, the university said yesterday.
The drawing by an unknown artist, speculated to have been a medical student at the university, is a tiny copy of the famous Chinese classical art piece penciled along the length of a trough for cables.
“Evidently, this student is as talented in the arts as in academia,” Yang Ming University president Liang Kung-yee （梁賡義） said.
The university does not know the identity of the artist, nor does it believe the student breached any rules against vandalism, he added.
The drawing was discovered during a maintenance inspection by a work team from the furniture company that installed the trough.
An unnamed employee at the company on Sunday uploaded an image of the doodle to Professional Technology Temple （PTT）, an academic online bulletin board.
The employee said in the post that the doodle’s details are so fine that they look like stains left behind by slovenly students.
However, when the work team took a closer look, they said they realized that it was actually a skillful rendition of Zhang’s masterpiece, which is recognizable because the original is a prized piece in the National Palace Museum’s collection.
“Somebody got bored in class,” one netizen wrote. “Whoever drew it is in the wrong department.”
“Is this how surgeons practice fine motor skills?” another said.
Another comment read: “Those golden hands will go a long way in the surgery department.”
The Chinese-language Apple Daily said in a report that the lecture room is in a remote corner of the campus where cellphone reception is poor.
