Philosophy About Chinese Calligraphy
Updated: 02/15/2013


The way to master the Art of Chinese Calligraphy can be categorized into two major realms: the Brush Methods ( 筆法 ) & the Mental Methods ( 心法 ). Each realm compensates each other. As one makes progress in one realm, s/he also grows in the other. The goal in Chinese calligraphy is to express the innermost beauty of one's soul and spirit combined with one's physical capabilities that elevates one's well being in whole in a balanced lifestyle.
