Courtesy / Politeness

 lǐ mào
Courtesy / Politeness Scroll

禮貌 is a Chinese and old Korean word that means courtesy or politeness.

Courtesy is being polite and having good manners. When you speak and act courteously, you give others a feeling of being valued and respected. Greet people pleasantly. Bring courtesy home. Your family needs it most of all. Courtesy helps life to go smoothly.


If you put the words "fēi cháng bù" in front of this, it is like adding "very much not." it’s a great insult in China, as nobody wants to be called "extremely discourteous" or "very much impolite."

To cut and polish each other

 xiāng qiē xiāng cuō
 sousetsu sousa
To cut and polish each other Scroll

相切相磋 means, “to cut and polish each other” or “mutual cutting and polishing.”

This is an original Chinese phrase (also known in Japan), though it matches the idea of “Iron sharpens iron; so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17).

This was derived at some point from the Chinese phrase, 切磋琢磨, which means “cutting, filing, carving, polishing.”

Police Scroll

警察 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja title for police (or police officer).

Police cars all over China and Japan have these characters painted on the doors. Police officers' helmets and equipment are also emblazoned with these two characters.

Police / Public Security Bureau

 gōng ān
 kou an
Police / Public Security Bureau Scroll

公安 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja title for (The Ministry of) Public Security. 公安 can also generally mean public safety, public security, or public welfare. It is a positive term in Japan, where some even name their daughters “Kouan” (this title).

In China, this is the kinder name for the PSB or Public Security Bureau. It's really the national police of China - occasionally brutal and seldom properly-trained or educated. Once in a while, you find a PSB officer who lives up to the title of 公安. Before the 1989 massacre, it was the PSB officers who refused to stop nor kill any of the protesting college students (so they're not all bad). The Chinese government had to call in soldiers from Inner Mongolia to kill thousands of protesters.

Cutting and Polishing

 sessata kuma
Cutting and Polishing Scroll

切磋琢磨 literally means “cutting, filing, carving, polishing” in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.

Originally describing polishing jade, 切磋琢磨 became a metaphor for people refining one another through study or interaction.

This can have the following interpretations:
To learn by exchanging ideas or experiences.
Mutual encouragement (to improve).
Cultivating one's character by studying hard.
Peers improving each other.
Mutual refinement.
Diligent application.

Intellectual sharpening.

In the context of self-reflection, it can mean discussing and pondering.

切磋琢磨 is probably the closest philosophical equivalent to “iron sharpens iron.”

All of our calligraphy wall scrolls are handmade.

When the calligrapher finishes creating your artwork, it is taken to my art mounting workshop in Beijing where a wall scroll is made by hand from a combination of silk, rice paper, and wood.
After we create your wall scroll, it takes at least two weeks for air mail delivery from Beijing to you.

Allow a few weeks for delivery. Rush service speeds it up by a week or two for $10!

When you select your calligraphy, you'll be taken to another page where you can choose various custom options.

A professional Chinese Calligrapher

Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.

There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.

Trying to learn Chinese calligrapher - a futile effort

Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.

A high-ranked Chinese master calligrapher that I met in Zhongwei

The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.
