Large Couplet on Fancy Paper : Blessing Good Business
Here I have a nice couplet on some fancy paper, which is a
great decoration of rooms either inside or outside. Red is the celebration color
in China. Because red is the color of flowers, red also is the color of Spring.
The biggest holiday in China is the Spring Festival, i.e., the Chinese new year.
China has lunar calendar. The Spring Festival usually is one month the the new
year in the sun calendar. At the time of the Spring Festival, Spring begins at
most of China.
Couplets are not just two columns of words. There're some strict rules
about the words. First there have to be two sentences with exactly same number
of words. Secondly, the corresponding character must be of the same syntactical
function. In other words, if the first word of the right is noun, then the first
word of the left also has to be a noun. 3. The two columns have to state
something relevant and in same topic.
It says :"Business is brisk and has customers over four seas (means
all over the world). Souce of money is luxuriant and reaches three rivers.
If you are interested
any questions about Chinese culture, you are welcome to contact with me.
It's about 51"x13" each. The background picture of the
characters is Dragon and Phoenix.

calligraphy art: Chinese calligraphy is a necessity in
China to decorate rooms. Chinese calligraphy not writing, neither is writing
well. It is a deep, serious art based on Chinese characters. You can see
everything in the universe in Chinese calligraphy. Furthermore, you can see
spirits in it. It's the soul of Chinese culture. What kind of calligraphy is
hung in a person's room is a reflection of the personality of the person.
For example, if there's a calligraphy says "industrious", that will implies
the person is a hardworking person or like to be one. If there're some
calligraphy works like "Buddha, Deep Meditation", the person will be a
Buddhist or somebody who is interested in Buddhism. A calligraphy "quiet"
likely be hung in a classroom. "harmony" will more likely appears in a
house. For more knowledge and information about calligraphy, please

| About
the paper: Xuan paper is the traditional paper for
Chinese calligraphy. It's not rice paper as some people think it is. This
paper is called Xuan paper because it's produced in Xuan City, An Hui
province in China. There're some other place in China also produce this kind
of paper but by the experience of calligraphers in more than 1000 years, it
shows paper produced in Xuan City is the best. The reason is because the
special kind of pine tree used in the process of production is best in Xuan
City. The calligraphy can be kept thousands of years without changing the
quality of the art. Today there're some calligraphy works from Tang dynasty,
which is 1100 years ago, done on this kind of paper. The ink doesn't spread
once it dries. Even if the art works falls into water, it does not hurt the
calligraphy. |
