China-phoenix.net is at the same time a guide and a handbook of Chinese calligraphy and painting.
Painting and calligraphy are, in the mind of the Chinese artist much more than a representation of reality. They make human able to commune with the universe and be impregnated with its harmony. The line, which is the base of Chinese painting and calligraphy, emphasizes the essence of beings represented and, in one way, gives life. Through this site you will discover Chinese painting and calligraphy, their history, the techniques and the gallery of Xiaoqian Li-Columeau.
