Figures 12 to16, along with some earlier examples, indicate the scope and variation of Chinese calligraphy. The elegant characters of Emperor Hui zong in figure 12 conjure up the image of reeds on the shoreline of a quiet lake the slender strokes bent by the night breeze rustle in the still twilight. Compare this refined atmosphere to the self conscious, almost rebellious calligraphy in figure 13.The characters in the upper right are bouncing down the paper, possibly on their way to the cocktail party at the bottom of the page.
