See: Tang Xuanzang's Records of the Western Regions of Datang, Volume II: "Detailed words, written by Brahma, original vertical rules, 47 words" (47 letters). In Japan, many Buddhist monks have high attainments in Sanskrit calligraphy, among which the famous Sanskrit calligrapher is the "Empty Sea Master". Mr. Konghai is a famous Japanese calligrapher, known as "Emperor Xie" and "Orange". As the picture shows, the Sanskrit style of Siddhartha is a bit like China's "seal script" and "bronze inscription". These hieroglyphs are similar in shape to "seal script" and "bronze inscription", which makes some people who don't know Sanskrit mistake Sanskrit for hieroglyphics, but in fact Sanskrit is a phonetic symbol with very accurate phonetic function.
