http://www.ubu.com/aspen/aspen10/brush.html; The Ten Thousand Character Essay By Wen Ching-ming (1470-1559, Ming Dynasty) Calligraphy in handscroll form (detail), in ink on paper, in four sections, each 11 in. high and resepctively 20-15/16 in., 20-7/8 in. long.
"The Ten Thousand Character Essay," composed during the Liang Dynasty (502-549), uses one thousand different characters, each only once. Chinese children memorize it in an aid to remembering the characters, and calligraphers are fond of copying it to show their virtuosity.
Here, Wen Ching-ming has copied it in the four main styles of calligraphy: Standard (k'ai), Draft (ts'ao), Clerical (li), and Seal (chüan) in that order. It is interesting to compare the variations in the four styles -- and to admire the calligrapher's superb control of the brush in each.
