The history of Chinese calligraphy 
                                is almost the same as the history of China itself. 
                                Calligraphy is one of the noble Chinese arts. 
                                Regarded as the most abstract and sublime form 
                                of art in Chinese culture, "Shu Fa" (calligraphy) 
                                is often thought to be the most revealing of one's 
                                personality. Chinese calligraphy serves the purpose 
                                of conveying thoughts but also shows the abstract 
                                beauty of the line. Rhythm, line, and structure 
                                are more perfectly embodied in calligraphy than 
                                in painting or sculpture. |
