Calligraphy

---

The Stele Forest (Forest of Stones) Museum contains relics of calligraphy written in stone. Some original pieces are housed there, and it is a popular attraction for the serious historical artists. Just outside the Museum are rows and rows of calligraphers selling copies of famous works and their own. Near the Wild Goose Pagoda (referred to in another entry) is a spectacular array of monumental-sized statues of the great calligraphers and some of their famous writings.

Calligraphy Row
Just outside the Museum you can find Calligraphy Row where you can buy supplies, including brushes as big as mops, and calligraphy of all kinds.

No Calligraphy on the Wall
Here is an empty row along the City Wall on a slow day.

AWESOME!
This is awesome! I didn't know that they still did this! I always see it in all the Asian movies I watch. I would love to see someone do that with the brush as big as a mop!
