内容简介

To the Chinese scholar， the preparation for recording his thought on paper was as important as the execution. On his desk lay the Four Treasures， the symbols of his calling: paper， brushes， inkslab and ink， so arranged as to inspire the best of his talent. Calligraphy in China ranked on a par with painting and poetry， as hallmarks of a man of accomplishment and discriminating taste. This book takes the reader into the scholar s study and seats him at that desk.
