This is a special kind of composition where you write characters close together, vertically and horizontally, this method is said to be like random pebbles covering the whole pavement.
Ideal time for practicing calligraphy in a lockdown.
Ideal indeed. Now can you read vertically and horizontally and it has meaning? Wow.
Yes, reading Chinese (ancient, as in calligraphy) is from top to bottom and from left column to right hand column.
The written material is usually poem.
Recently, I have been imitating Xu Wei εΎζΈ ‘s works and mount them up. To me, he is a Chinese version of Van Gough, a bit mad and have been hurting himself in the ears and in the body.
I do not expect my readers to know about him.
I count myself fortunate to have some body who can recognize his works.
Many thanks for the feedback π
I studied at the Uni of ShaoXing (LanTing Academy of Calligraphy) and visited Xu Wei’s studio and his tomb. He is a still a big name in the city (among others of course). I made a special study of his work , your copy is excellent.
I am mounting some of my Xu Wei’s writings. When this is done, I will upload them.
You have a very good grounding in calligraphy and fine art, I have been enjoying your blog π
can’t wait to see them
I haven’t yet photographed the others by XuWei.
I am posting one by εΌ΅εΌΌ, see what you think.
Regards, Michael

I think it’s beautiful.
Thanks for your kind words π
Beautiful dear Michael, I wonder what they say there… Thank you, Love, nia
