Calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture， which has developed into a special high-level art apart from satisfying the needs of daily writing. It has been flourishing for thousands of years in China. Shops with strong commercial atmosphere will gain some elegance if they are decorated with some quaint cultural calligraphic works. Sitting rooms， studies and bedrooms can be nice-looking with calligraphy works decorated. As a kind of art work， the writing of calligraphy is particular. The Chinese characters are written on Xuan paper which absorbs ink very well and then are mounted to hang on a wall. The calligraphy works are mostly a poem or a motto that the host of the room likes it much； if it is written by the host himself， it will demonstrate more his aspiration and interest as well as his talent.
