"When practicing Chinese calligraphy, one must maintain a good posture, which helps to keep you well. The way you hold the brush with your fingers is essential. While writing on the scroll without lines or squares, you need to focus your attention on the spaces between written words. Keeping your mind on what you are writing, it brings you joy and tranquility."

Rebecca Wong, Chinese
