jpcc 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2008 i think it really depends on whether u know how to appreciate Chinese Calligraphy. (i.e. no drawing, just Chinese words) There are five types of more popular strokes/ scripts, e.g. Zhuan , Li, Kai, Xing, Cao http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calligraphy I would think it is better to be able to appreciate one of the script, and know why it is considered pretty/ well written before plunging the money down lor. Cuz, sometimes, i went to exhibition and saw some people selling calligraphy pieces, some are really bian jiak. If u buy some piece already and think they are nice, but when your guests came (and know how to appreciate), can be quite pai say lor. Sometimes, during Chinese new year, or some Chinese festivals, there are calligraphy competition, some of the winning entries by students are quite good. But most wrote in Kaishu only. Can be quite boring for your home, depends on theme, and also what u wanna write lah.... If get from China or Taiwan (museum), maybe more possibility. Btw, in China , also need to know who/where to find. Hangzhou is quite ok. But best if you get people who knows, and recommend. These are art pieces, n depend also on whether u know enough Chinese to carry such weight. I.e. explain style/content or critique... maybe.... my 2cents.
