Someone beats a monk and the monk writes. Is this calligraphy?
The so-called "monk's book" is actually a one-sided classification, which is determined by its special status. Not according to the strict classification of calligraphy times and styles, it can only be said that this is just a "sideline". However, in recent years, the research and excavation of monk's calligraphy is rising day by day, and China's monk's calligraphy is rare in the world. During the Ping 'an and Kamakura periods, many Buddhist monks came to China to study Buddhism, and also learned the essence of calligraphy in Wei, Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties. They inherited China's calligraphy well, and these ink marks were well preserved.
