"What defines a masterwork of calligraphy? Out of Character, a collaborative effort from leading Chinese and U.S. scholars, tries to answer this question by focusing on fifteen calligraphic masterpieces.

Over that time a complex set of rules and conventions has evolved that impacts every aspect of the calligrapher's practice.
