With a long historical and cultural tradition,
calligraphy and painting are an epitome of traditional Chinese culture. A
finely wrought piece of calligraphy or painting always makes an ideal
souvenir. Apart from the renowned xuan paper, there are a good variety of
media for traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy. These include shell
mosaics produced in Dalian of Liaoning, Qingdao of Shandong, Beihai of
Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian; tree-bark pictures from Jilin; cork patchwork
of Fuzhou; paintings on bamboo curtains from Sichuan; wheat straw patchwirk
from Chaozhou of Guangdong and Heilongjiang; and feather patchwork from
Shenyang and Shandong. |
