It's about 27"x18". Done by Xuan Paper. This 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.

Chinese calligraphy is a necessity in China to decorate the rooms. Chinese calligraphy is a deep, serious art based on Chinese characters. 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 a person hang a mediocre calligraphy in a nice luxury frame, it just mean that person is somewhat not well educated, don't know how to appreciate calligraphy as an art. On the other hand, if a person have a real good piece of calligraphy with good literal content, than implies the person is well educated, knowledgeable and have a refined taste.
