Common "Triple" Misnomers About Chinese Calligraphy:

"Can you draw my name in Chinese symbols on the rice paper?"

1. The Chinese written language is called "characters." Chinese characters are made up of strokes, section headings, and radicals. There are no symbols in current Chinese writing.

2. Most Chinese will associate "rice paper" with paper used to wrap candies. In the 18th century when the Europeans tried to get the trade secrets of Chinese writing and painting paper made in Shuan (Xuan) City, they were misinformed it was made of rice! Shuan paper is made of many different plant fibers and may contain ingredients from rice straws. But it is not made of rice.

3. Symbols are drawn and characters (words) are written. Chinese don't "paint" Chinese characters. As a matter of fact, many Chinese teachers and parents strongly forbid children to "draw" or "paint" characters instead of "writing."
