Thank for make me know. By☆!
Dear Taiwanese friends,
Your blog asking us if we can see the dragons in the calligraphy pictures was so awesome. I could totally see them. Are they real words that we looked at? Is it hard to learn calligraphy? Your descriptions on the first two pictures were very descriptive. How long does it take you to make one sentence of calligraphy? Thank you for all your beautiful writing. Will you please show us more next time?
Blog me back,

Hello friends, it’s Trevor. I was looking at the ancient Chinese dragons. I kind of think that the first picture sort of looks like a dragon. I can see the dragon’s head at the upper left and then the tail curves around to the right. In the second picture I can see the dragon a lot better than in picture one. In the second picture, the arrows are winds blowing around him and behind that is the dragon’s head and body. The two things that are sticking out are the wings. By the way, what type of dragons are they?
Your friend,

Ni hao! It’s Tommy. The two pictures you posted at the top are very interesting. In the first picture I can see the dragon. I see the snake like body, and the horny head.
In the next picture it is hard to see the dragon. I think it has a spikey head. I also think it has 2 arms but that’s it.

Hi Katei:
Yes, these words are real but they are very old Chinese words so that even few Chinese have seen the words.
We practice writing calligraphy in school.
So it doen't take much time to write calligraphy.
We can finish a short sentence in less than 1 min.
