Cursive Style Chinese Calligraphy Demo with Datong Xu

Datong is my classmate at Nanjing Univ. He currently teaches Chinese calligraphy and painting in Tucson, AZ. We have been good friends for thirty years. Recently he visited our home in LA and had great time doing painting and calligraphy together. I took this video of him writing a cursive style Chinese calligraphy and
would like to share it with my YouTube channel viwers. In Chinese art esthetics, calligraphy and painting are of common origin. The mulberry tree fiber paper is good for painting and also for calligraphy.

It need to learn the Chinese traditional characters first and then study how to read the Chinese characters in different period of time. I guess the master was wroting 草書？

@rabbit9206 when you talking not enough think.it is called Feibai,flying white,and it is a very difficult technique,but can't you tell he knows what he is doing?,he keeps dipping his brush the same way each time,he wants it to look that way.

@wolfydan121 i have told many people that same thing,and not just from being obsessed,but because i seem to have known the culture already as i encountered it. P.S. don't forget one of the best parts....the women!!
