Answer 1

【答案】Dear Jim,

I am glad to know that you have joined your school's calligraphy club. The calligraphy piece sent to you was written by myself. I really hope you will like it.

The Chinese characters on the piece are “天道酬勤”( Tian Dao Chou Qin), meaning 'Hard work pays off. ' It is a well-known Chinese idiom, widely adopted as a motto by Chinese people. There is a similar calligraphy piece hanging in the study at my home, which was written by my grandfather. He gave it to me when I started to learn calligraphy at age six in the hope that I would practise it often and learn it well. You see now my efforts have paid off. I hope it can serve as an encouragement to you at all times. I wrote this piece in the calligraphic style of my favorite calligrapher, Yan Zhenqing, a renowned master of the Tang Dynasty. His style is Kaishu, a standard script, suitable for beginners. I guess maybe it is the style that you are practising.

I know it is not easy to learn Chinese calligraphy. If you have any problems during your study, I would be happy to help you. I sincerely hope you enjoy learning Chinese calligraphy.

Yours

LiHua
