Chinese Calligraphy
Chinese Culture
Calligraphy
Chinese culture is imbued with patient attention to detail. In the art of Chinese calligraphy, the shape, size, hairs type of the ink brush, the color, color to water ratio in the ink, the paper water absorptive speed and surface texture all influence the effect of the finished artwork. Additionally, the artist controls the final outcome through the quantity of ink he lets the brush absorb as well as by the pressure, inclination, and direction he gives to the brush. To be considered truly educated in ancient China, one must have an extensive knowledge of calligraphy and must be able to appreciate as well as produce beautiful works. The calligraphy brush makers of Dai Yue Xuan, established in 1916, create a variety of carefully crafted brush types. In addition to a wide range of brush sizes, they offer brushes in goat hair, weasel hair, and rabbit hair, all known for producing different effects in works of calligraphy.
Silks
Similarly, Chinese embroidery and silk products require equal scrupulous craftsmanship. Most Chinese fine embroideries are made in silk. Silk production in China dates back 5000 to 6000 years. With the opening of the Silk Road, demand for Chinese silk products boomed, as traders from India, Persia, Tibet, traveled to attain the precious fabrics and silk goods, creating famous travelers like Marco Polo. Beautifully hand embroidered silk scarves, which its soft sheen, careful needlework, and cool, slippery fabric are still in high demand today, as modern women use it to accessorize their purses, or tie it around their necks for an effortless, chic look.
Fashion
Traditional Chinese fashion include such popular items such as silky qipao, long men's mandarin jacket, delicate fans, and stately otter skin caps, which are all still worn today. Qipao is a silk dress for women, tapered at the legs and at the waist, creating a slim, smooth silhouette. Usually decorated with lavish prints from flowers to phoenixes, these dresses come in a variety of hues. Another traditional Chinese fashion piece which has carried into the modern age is the folding fan. Sometimes made with silk, sometimes with paper, these fans can be plain or painted. A favorite of all ladies, these fans were carried everywhere, from garden parties to tea houses, the intricate designs on the folding fan flashing and fluttering as the owner demurely fans herself. For men, mandarin jackets, or changshan, are long, loose fitting shirts meant to reach the ankles. Introduced during the Qing dynasty, mandarin jackets became immensely widespread in China and were used for all formal occasions before the popularization of western men's suits.

What materials are required to practice chinese calligraphy?
I am an arts student i hear that practicing chinese calligraphy helps in improving strokes.I have been unable to find specific internet on the net and i dont want to pay....are there any specific brushes/pens that are used ..please help !!
Wow, it's so rare to find people here interested in the Asian arts! As a fellow arts student, some suggestions:
Use bamboo brushes of varying size, depending on the size of the characters you want to write. Fine sable hair is a pretty good choice, but for larger brushes wolf hair is also found. Avoid synthetics like the plague, especially nylon brushes! They don't hold the ink as well, and don't streak in the spontaneously beautiful way natural brushes do.
You will also need traditional inks, using an ink stone and a rubbing surface (usually a stone resevoir that can be found in Chinatown shops). This method is closest to tradtional style, allowing you to create different levels of the ink's darkness depending on how much you grink the ink stone with water on the stone tablet. You can get shades of gray to a deep rich black. Alternatively, you can use bottled Chinese / Japanese ink. I found some good resources to do these at Utrecht art supply, and Japanese kozo paper as well (essentially Chinese rice paper) which work very well.
The reason many people prefer the traditional papers and inks is because they don't bleed so much if mixed right, and offer the most variability. You can use smooth watercolor paper as substitute if you must. Avoid the ones with grains because the grain will skew and bleed unevenly. Some people use watercolors (goache) black instead of the usual ink, and it would also work alright if you don't want to invest in the ink. But absolutely essential is the bamboo natural hair brushes. Don't use pens / oil or acrylic brushes.
When mixing the ink, avoid using too much water. It's kind of hard to find the perfect balance - too wet and it bleeds too much or doesn't give you the darkest black, too dry and you can't get a consistent stroke and your brush gets prickly fast. It's better to have your brush hold a lot of dark ink, and then blot the brush slightly on a rag or napkin or the side of your cup / dish to remove the excess ink on it than to have it too dry.
Oh! One last thing I forgot to mention. You don't hold the brush the same way you hold a pencil / pen. You hold it upright so that your thumb points upward along its length, and your index and middle fingers then support the other side. The brush should point almost straight down, opposite the direction of the thumb. Most of your movements therefore should come from the wrist and forearm, not the fingers.
I hope that helps, maybe too much info to take at once haha. Good luck with that. I KNOW it helps you with brush technique because I've taken traditional ink painting and a bit of Chinese calligraphy and it really emphasizes brush technique. Best of luck!
