Zhao Yuan couldn't help but chuckle. Grandpa Lin was truly obsessed with the art of calligraphy to the extreme.
He said no more. Standing before the desk, he activated the Thought Borrowing Technique, borrowing knowledge and skill in calligraphy from the eclectic arts left behind by Wu Peng. He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, taking the opportunity to allow this newfound knowledge and skill to better integrate with his own being.
Lin Liangzhe stood by without rushing him.
In his eyes, Zhao Yuan was preparing his state of mind before putting brush to paper!
Chinese calligraphy valued not only beautiful form but, more importantly, a spiritual resonance. Only a piece that excelled in both spirit and form could be considered Upper Grade. Work that had form but no spirit was considered inferior. But work that had spirit without form lacked aesthetic beauty, which was equally undesirable.
The seconds ticked by.
Finally, Zhao Yuan opened his eyes and picked up the brush.
