Title
THE ART OF CHITFU YU
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- In imperial times, painting and calligraphy were the most highly appreciated arts in court circles and were produced almost exclusively by amateurs–aristocrats and scholar-officials–who alone had the leisure to perfect the technique and sensibility necessary for great brushwork. Calligraphy was thought to be the highest and purest form of painting. The implements were the brush pen, made of animal hair, and black inks made from pine soot and animal glue. In ancient times, writing, as well as painting, was done on silk. But after the invention of paper in the 1st century C.E., silk was gradually replaced by the new and cheaper material. Original writings by famous calligraphers have been greatly valued throughout China’s history and are mounted on scrolls and hung on walls in the same way that paintings are.
