Yang Zhenning said in China Culture and Science: "I have a friend Xiong Bingming, who is a calligrapher, painter, sculptor, aesthetic theorist and literary critic.

"He said this because calligraphy can best embody the spirit of abstraction and concentration."
Pan Shouyu, a famous contemporary calligrapher, said that calligraphy has three elements.

Great calligraphers in ancient times were also great scholars in universities.
