Style with artist's emotion
Cursive style is the most difficult style in Chinese Calligraphy. It is also the most expressive style, abstract and full of pace and contrast. See the photo of Cursive Style calligraphy write on cotton bags, which are tiger and dragon, two of the most important animals in Chinese culture. They both means courage. The dragon in China is different in Europe. The legendary dragon king lived under water, control rain, hurricane and floods. Dragon in China symbolize power. Chinese Emperor usually uses dragon as a symbol of his imperial power.
You could also refer to my previous article about 'add eye to the dragon' story.
