       Having finally reposted all the old content, we can now at last
       proceed to new content! This post will supply contrast to the
       ugliness of Western calligraphy as exhibited here:

       Firstly, some theory:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_calligraphy
       [quote]The characters must be concise.[4] This is in contrast to
       Western calligraphy where flourishes are acceptable and often
       desirable. Good Chinese calligraphy must be unadorned
       script.[/quote]
       This is the fundamental difference that we want to emphasize.
