Crazy Chinese guy writing calligraphy (part 2)

[artmediaz]

His writing is way better than mine :(

Btw how is this a "crazy" Chinese dude, sure he's writing caligraphy on the streets, buts that not crazy, uncommon, yes but not crazy

[SchimmeLiFf]

I love that guy's brush. It looks so funny!

[SupportShotgun]

he's protesting communism...bring in the soldiers

[SuicideXBombers]

nice flares :DD

[taintofshadow]

That's very beautiful!

[aaaaaq27]

great works

[chantelo]

I hear Mrs. Gao !

[albusfr]

jesus....his calligraphy is awesome!

[shennvluohua]

To be honest,his calligraphy is really good for an ameteur and he can do better than most of other Chinese.

but he is far away from a true master,click on my name and you can enjoy the top-rank calligraphy in modern China.

[tarsmc]

gime me this thing to make tags man!

[luckystar787878]

i should practice calligraphy while mopping the floor next time

[Dovejj]

what a waste of so nice kanjis brushed on ground ... his penmanship is really good

[leonheart208]

in chinese its called hanzi, japanese its kanji...

His calligraphy is nice, better than those crazy brushstroke the """masters""" do... i cant understand a shit from what they write, but i can understand what this guy writes ¨^^

[Dovejj]

leonheart208 , thank you for telling me this . 1 years ago my teacher told me the ancient china also called it hanji . but china after manchu's invasion the pronunciation changed ...so i cann't say kanji is japanese or chinese. the guy in my heart is way better than most of those --so called chinese "masters" . so i agreed with you hahaha!　are you chinese?

[leonheart208]

^^

No, im brazilian, but i like asian culture a lot.

[tonycl568]

you had a crazy interpreter, what does that tell us?

[tonycl568]

he looks normal to me, show some respect to the art.

[lesfoins]

Pity the second character he did in this video clip is wrong. What he wrote is a poem by Du Mu in Tang Dynasty. That particular line containing the incorrect character should be:

白雲深處有人家

NOT

白雲生處有人家

However, this person may defend himself by quoting an old saying that whatever a great calligrapher writes is literally right.

[romanpraetoria]

try pissing your name in the snow.

[Ty921]

lol at the end that lady is laughing saying that one symbol says maple leaf

[iiYaMa72]

wel I didnt see a maple leaf in it lol

[eguda911]

the Mao's poem(shows last two sentenses in the video) says 天若有情天亦老 人间正道是沧桑

'If heaven/gods have any love and hate during all the long time, the heaven/gods will have been oldened by all those strong emotions. it always be that way.'

(sorry I can't translate it in good english, but it's beautiful in chinese, objectively speaking.)

Du Mu's poem is more famous one, it named 山行 'mountain walking'

远上寒山石径斜...(can be seen in the video)

there is a good translation version in Part2 of this video.

[Bureth]

Mmmmm this Carlsberg tastes so good! Ohh ya.. great stuff! VERY NICE I LIKE !

[pigeon1212]

He was writing a famous 8th century poem about beautiful autumn mountain spectacle in sunset. This poem is as below:

山行  （唐：杜牧）

远上寒山石径斜，

白云深处有人家。

停车坐爱枫林晚，

霜叶红于二月花。

[brokenleoheart]

waaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!! i havent read this poem in such a long time, like in 3rd grade!! thank you for reminding me!

[AnonymousTart]

I think he means "really good" when he says crazy

[pugcasso]

Perhaps it's a modern slang meaning "awesome" ... I remember many years ago someone came up to me where I was showing my paintings and he said they were stupid! At the time I was confused but I could see he liked them so I assumed it was some slang I was not aware of.

Anyway, this is a great video!

[deppwaswho]

awesome dude. TO THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS: are u that canadian guy?

[iiYaMa72]

probably

[brabon]

bet he learned this at one of mao's reeducation camps...the chinese...truly beautiful people...how do you brainwash a billion people?

[murphe777]

Calligraphy is an ancient chinese cultural art that people have been performing for thousands of years. Chairman Mao attempted to eliminate and PERSECUTE cultural and artistic pursuits such as this.

Try reading about the cultural revolution (and chairman mao) some time on wikipedia, you'll learn something new.

[chyansie]

DArn he's awesome. Fabulous

[alexongcs]

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[jimmyjamesWang]

fuck, did he say he's canadian!!?, the old guy, or that bystander who is a friend of that bitch who just wont shut up.

[why123]

man, that bitch is so fucking annoying.

[jimmyjamesWang]

yeah, she is overly zealous and friendly and trying to explain what it meant, and stuff. God, she should just shut up, who gives a fuck about some stupid foreign rednecks who dont understand chinese art. If they are so found of it, they would have studied and researched on it. I personally do not see any need to promote chinese art to those people who fucking hate us.

[deppwaswho]

they dont hate us....we can get along fine with forreigners..

[MistaMississippi]

I WANT HIM TO DO MY TATOO!!!!!!!!!!

[cupcakelee123123]

wish that bitch would just shutup

[namusa]

man this guy is awesome i want one of those brushes! but isnt this a little like graffiti?and how come he dosent get arrested!?

[loreleiT]

These are written in water. Soon will disappear anyway. In China it's morning body exercise while practising calligraphy.

[murphe777]

He is writing with water and practicing an ancient art form. It dries and disappears, it is not graffiti. He is simply performing and practicing an ancient art.

And unlike NYC buskers these artists do not ask for money, merely respect for their skill.

[golec82]

That guy is incredible. The Chinese language amazing.

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

Thanks for posting this video. This guy is great. His brush strokes are impressive. His calligraphy is beautiful. Wish I could understand what the words mean.

[ppcaze]

So impressive.

[Zac2333]

真漂亮啊！

[PatrickCanlas]

where do you get those brushes? O_o; lol. i want one :D

[eguda911]

painting stores in any city

[mchchicago78]

So beautiful. Makes me proud of my heritage as a Chinese man. Should make us proud of our heritage as humans.

[larrio]

NB!!! RESPECT!!! 好强嘎

[vincent10kd]

why do you call him crazy?

[moonlight0murder]

any one know what it says?? please tell me if you do ^^

[morlyion]

Tang Dynasty(China)

--Mr. Du mu

Traveling along the winding stone path leading to the deep bleak mountain,

I can see a house beyond in the mountain mist.

The maple woods are so beautiful in the evening that I pull up may carriage to enjoy the scenery.

Just to the frosted maple leaves are redder than the flowers of spring in February.

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

Thank you for the translation!

[moonlight0murder]

thxks.!

[morlyion]

好字啊，牛人老爷爷！！！

Great!

[roygbiv330]

aaamazing!

[ConcertGrandSteinway]

非常好书法。 你有许多天分

[huanianyi]

What he wrote is a China poem

山行 唐. 杜牧

远上寒山石径斜

白云深处有人家

停车坐爱枫林晚

霜叶红于二月花

[huanianyi]

Traveling in A Mountain

Du Mu (803-852 AD) Tang Dynasty China

Traveling along the winding stone path leading to the deep bleak mountain,

I can see a house beyond in the mountain mist.

The maple woods are so beautiful in the evening that I pull up may carriage to enjoy the scenery.

Just to the frosted maple leaves are redder than the flowers of spring in February.

[huanianyi]

Just to find

[Sanch3zn]

I SAW THAT SAME GUY! Haha.

[Harregarre]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

太棒了!

[tamaichigo]

To think that he's using such a large brush with one hand and writing each stroke so damn beautifully and with quick strokes...absolutely amazing!

[shapolang81]

nice video, but you must be fucking crazy to call him crazy

[ofu]

shan xing by du mu.

[OneAverageAsian]

fucking Ms.Gao

[aznmonkey102]

I can do that... but on paper...

[Cernunnos99]

He is using water not ink, and there are a lot of calligrafers who make demonstrations on this place.

This guy is absolutely not crazy, he's just probably a master of chinese calligraphy, smilling when somebody asks him a question and show interrest on his art.

[nexovenc4]

I meant crazy as is crazy good.

[kukut27]

beautiful...

[yorkei04]

wow....I want know him writ what@@

[ShanShui]

If this guy is crazy, I'd love to be half mad he is

[CupNoodles]

haha he's got a nice brush.

[thomlane]

who is crazy? this man is awake to the silliness around him but it doesn't cause him any trouble. His mind clear and sharp, leaning on a rock.

[TonyYueMonash]

Brilliant & Creative

[rh6rd]

BEAUTIFUL! If I could just have half his talent...
