Vintage Chinese stone and animal (horse) hair Calligraphy Brush. The Chinese historian Yang Xiong wrote, “Writing is pictures of the heart,” a reference to the expressive nature of calligraphy and the amount of practice and skill it takes to master this art form. Of all the tools needed to create calligraphy - ink, ink stone, paper, and brush (known as the Four Treasures of the Study) - it is the brush which is the most difficult to master. The master calligrapher Wang Xi Shi likened calligraphy to a battle when he said: “The sheet of paper, a battleground; the brush, lances and swords; the ink, mind, the commander in chief”. The brush represents the point where mind, dexterity, and creative ability meet.
