SUMMARY:Chinese Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:Chinese calligraphy is a form of calligraphy widely practiced in China and revered in the Chinese cultural sphere\, which often includes Japan\, Korea\, Taiwan\, and Vietnam. \nThe calligraphic tradition of East Asia originated and developed from China. There is a general standardization of the various styles of calligraphy in this tradition. Chinese calligraphy and ink and wash painting are closely related\, since they are accomplished using similar tools and techniques. \nChinese painting and calligraphy distinguish themselves from other cultural arts because they emphasize motion and are charged with dynamic life. According to Stanley-Baker\, “Calligraphy is sheer life experienced through energy in motion that is registered as traces on silk or paper\, with time and rhythm in shifting space its main ingredients.” Calligraphy has also led to the development of many forms of art in China\, including seal carving\, ornate paperweights\, and inkstones.

Styles of sushi and its presentation vary widely\, but the one key ingredient is “sushi rice”\, also referred to as shari (しゃり)\, or sumeshi (酢飯).[1]\nSushi is traditionally made with medium-grain white rice\, though it can be prepared with brown rice or short-grain rice. It is very often prepared with seafood\, such as squid\, eel\, yellowtail\, salmon\, tuna or imitation crab meat. Many types of sushi are vegetarian. It is often served with pickled ginger (gari)\, wasabi\, and soy sauce. Daikon radish or pickled daikon (takuan) are popular garnishes for the dish. \nSushi is sometimes confused with sashimi\, a related dish in Japanese cuisine that consists of thinly sliced raw fish\, or occasionally meat\, and an optional serving of rice.
