Chinese Calligraphy And Art

Chinese calligraphy is an art unique to Chinese culture. Qin (a string musical instrument), Qi (a strategic boardgame), Shu (calligraphy), and Hua (painting)  are the four basic skills and disciplines of the Chinese literati.

Regarded as the most abstract and sublime form of art in Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy is often thought to be most revealing of one's personality. During the imperial era, Chinese calligraphy was used as an important criterion for selection of executives to the Imperial court. Unlike other visual art techniques, all calligraphy strokes are permanent and incorrigible, demanding careful planning and confident execution. Such are the skills required for an administrator / executive. While one has to conform to the defined structure of words, the expression can be extremely creative. To exercise humanistic imagination and touch under the faceless laws and regulations is also a virtue well appreciated.
