Chinese calligraphy evokes a complex beauty by the simplest means—a single character, a stroke, or even a dot. It is an intriguing art form that at once reveals a calligrapher's talent and learning, reflects whole epochs of philosophy, religion, and culture, and embraces an artistic tradition thousands of years old. This volume offers a loving appreciation of the aesthetic values underlying Chinese calligraphy as well as an authoritative guide to its historical development as one of China's supreme artistic accomplishments.
