Chinese calligraphy traditionally utilizes brush and ink as its primary mediums. The brushes, made from animal hair, allow for varying line thickness and fluidity, while the ink is usually a solid stick that is ground on an ink stone with a small amount of water. Calligraphy is often practiced on rice paper or silk, which enhances the visual impact of the strokes. This art form emphasizes the beauty of movement and expression through these materials.
