As Chinese characters and calligraphy evolved, 5 scripts have been developed in historical timeline. They are seal script, clerical script, cursive script, semi-cursive script and traditional regular script. Despite different styles and forms of these 5 scripts, their skills and techniques are deeply connected. Unlike seal script, clerical script and traditional regular scripts which pay more emphasis on stroke skills, cursive and semi-cursive scripts embody more the free and unstrained art styles.

?

By employing multifarious calligraphic scripts, the eight academicians and scholars reproduce significant works by Chinese and Korean poets and litterateur, highlighting the spirit of independence in every stroke of ink.
