Calligraphy is our traditional culture, but now few people are learning it. In the computer age, even writing with a pen is rare, let alone using a brush to write calligraphy. As a result, this beautiful art of writing is gradually declining.
Shengda Zhuang is still making every effort to promote the brush and ink business, offering many calligraphy classes. Starting from the basics of brush movement, they teach young students step by step to enter the world of calligraphy. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. To write good calligraphy, the four treasures of the study (brush, ink, paper, and inkstone) are very important. Here, the master will explain the characteristics of each kind of brush hair. Wolf hair is harder, while sheep hair is softer. The ink stick and paper also have their own standards. You will learn a lot about calligraphy knowledge on how to match them. The store also has many antiques for you to appreciate, each with its own story.
Shengda Zhuang started with brushes and ink. After the second generation, Li Zhi-ren took over, and the business began a new life. In addition to the original brush and ink business, he also established an art museum, gallery, art academy, and Jiande International Art Auction Company. One can see his passion and persistence for the art of painting and calligraphy.
