Although calligraphy is also profound, it is quick to get started. All kinds of people can write, such as celebrities, old generals and leaders, and they are varied and dazzling. I can't tell whether it's fame or technology.
Moreover, Chinese painting is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with many processes, such as conception, outline, dyeing and coloring. And calligraphy is fast and fast.
Of course, your topic is also wrong. Some calligraphy pens and Chinese paintings are more expensive. I know what you mean. Usually, generally speaking, that's why. I paint my own scenery, and understanding and experience are very important.
I wish you happiness.
