Chinese
calligraphy is regarded as the
most abstract
and sublime
form of art in Chinese culture, "Shu Fa" (calligraphy) is often
thought to be most
revealing
of one's personality. During the imperial era, calligraphy was
used as an important
criterion
for selection of executives to the Imperial court. Unlike other
visual art techniques, all calligraphy strokes are permanent and
incorrigible,
demanding careful planning and confident execution. Such are the
skills required for an administrator / executive. While one has to
conform to the defined structure of words, the expression can be
extremely creative. To exercise humanistic imagination and touch
under the faceless laws and regulations is also a virtue well
appreciated. |
