As Hong Tang knew well before moving to West Palm Beach, Chinese calligraphy is all about motion and fluidity. Experts call it energy in motion, and its emphasis on sweeping, brushing strokes lends it its reputation for beauty in motion and breezy nature. Calligraphy has, over millennia, led to the development of many other art forms in China, including seal carving, ink and wash painting, and inkstones. Hong Tang grew up learning Chinese calligraphy in her home country before her move to West Palm Beach, trying to obtain the writing style of excellent pieces of writing. From elementary school to college, Tang practiced and honed her skills with the brush and the ink. Chinese calligraphy is form of calligraphy that can be found in Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing—all cultures within China’s cultural sphere.
