“A calligrapher, mastering the technique and skills of hieroglyph writing, expresses his thoughts and feelings according to his understanding of the content of writing. He should “infect” spectators with his work and cause excitement with that beauty in them — and that is called calligraphy. Otherwise it is nothing more than just hieroglyph writing”.
