As a chinese school ex student, we often encounter chinese calligraphy, which was one of the task i hate the most, because i dont write beautiful calligraphy, and often we have to follow exactly the same in order to get full marks, which eventually block our creativity to do so.

There are two type of "mao pi" (the brush), one of the Chinese which u have to deep in the "mo" (ink) which smell very bad, another one of the Japanese which the ink were already in there (just like a pen and the brush is harder,easier to control).

Japanese "Mao Pi" was our favourite choice, but the school teacher banned us from using Japanese "mao pi", which was a headache for us, because to write "Xiao Kai" (smaller version of calligraphy) were often difficult enough, especially the chinese "Mao pi" is soft.

However, remembering the old day~ we were smart enough to use Japanese "mao pi" with the Chinese "mo" so the teacher wont found out. (if used Japanese "mao pi" with the pre loaded ink, the trace at the back of the paper sheet will turned blue, and if you used "mo" the trace will turn black, so the teacher wont found out~).

That was the old day, few days back, an old uncle supplier was looking at my way of holding pen, and stated that the way i hold it will not able to write calligraphy @@'', lol sort of been stepped on the tail... so decided to ask my dad to teach me (yeah he have nice calligraphy writing....) so i try to write my name~... which turned out disaster at 1st haha.... but...

This is the calligraphy that i can write for now... demo Ganbarimasu!
