"The Practice of Chinese Calligraphy" by Léon Vandermeersch
In History of Writing, pp 86-89
Extended reading on Chinese calligraphy, sometimes overshadowed by a bias in teaching design history which leans towards Western European scribal histories. Questions to ask here include: What materials are unique to this tradition (what is rice-paper) and how have they influenced this form of writing? What historical and social contexts are linked to this writing?
