rich customs of each specific group of people. From the Buddhist masks of Tibet to the royal masks of Beijing, Asia’s love
of masks is abundant. You can get in on this tradition by using Chinese masks in your home. Let us help you find and

Before you can purchase any Chinese masks, you have to decide what kind of masks you are interested in. The many different
areas of China each reflect a different type of culture. You might choose to buy traditional painted wood masks. Or perhaps
you’d rather have a golden dragon mask.
The kind of mask you buy depends partly on your budget.

have Asian accessories for sale at reasonable prices.
If you are looking for authentic Oriental accessories, however, you might have a little more work ahead of you. The internet is
a good place to find authentic items.

Consider shipping cost when choosing something from an online Chinese tablware and accessories shop: a great online deal may turn to be not
that great at all, if you add on the shipping charge. In this case, it is still less expensive to buy the item at
and mortar Chinese gift shop if the shipping costs are higher than the item itself.
The first Chinese calligraphy is very old now. Tradition holds that King Wu of the Zhou
Dynasty in the 11th century B.C. invented the Chinese hand-held fan, and the oldest known Chinese calligraphy was found
in China and is old. The earliest half-moon fans were constructed of silk wrapped around
bamboo spokes that were arranged in a semi-circle. Chinese Calligraphy was used only by the members of the royal court for many centuries,
only becoming available to the general public during the Han Dynasty. By the time of the Jin Dynasty,
317-420 A.D., Chinese calligraphy was being made.
While the Chinese are credited with the invention of Chinese calligraphy, the half-moon hand held fan, these first fans did not fold like
modern ones do. The folding half-moon fan was brought to China in the 11th century A.D. from Japan.
Today Chinese calligraphy
sometimes is still made from the traditional bamboo and silk materials, and also of paper, wood, bone, palm tree leaves and other materials.
Have you noticed the writings on the pots and plates in the Chinese restaurants? Even their chopsticks, dresses, and other
Chinese accessories were designed with Chinese calligraphy. It's so nice to see and use those china tablewares with Chinese jade.
It's like eating in an emperor's palace.
You can't help but notice the different strokes of the brush used in every Chinese papercuts and China knots. It's as if every single
word is an art to master. I can't stop wandering if all Chinese were calligraphers. Even my kids asked me the same questions.
Maybe we can learn their skills in doing the Oriental calligraphy. I read that there are special learning centers for these kind of skills.
Even though we are not Chinese, they would still teach us the different steps of Chinese calligraphy.
Would you like to enhance the artistic side of you through the well known oriental Chinese fans and gifts? You can create your
own Chinese knots, handkerchiefs and Chinese art & crafts that you can put on your personal things such as
Chinese silk umbrellas, paper umbrellas, Chinese shadow play, seal carvings, Chinese miniature arts, lacquers, Chinese kites,
Chinese jade, dolls & puppets, Chinese zodiac animal symbols, ceramics, Chinese porcelain and Chinese pandas.
There are many ways you can make use of this Chinese gift and have fun while doing it. One way is by painting or writing the names of
all family members on a piece of cloth and put it on top of your center table. At first, they will not recognize the Chinese accessories
because the art appears to be an abstract one.
Try convincing them to learn the Chinese tableware by asking.
Another way is if you want to make your mugs personalized for each family member, you can paint their name on their favorite
colored Chinese knots. When you serve their breakfast drinks every morning, they would be delighted to see their names on it. This could
also motivate them to finish their drinks before going to school or to the office.
Your family will really appreciate your effort and your skills of calligraphy. You don't have to be an oriental native to be
able to practice this form of Chinese art & crafts.
