Chinese calligraphy is the writing of Chinese characters as an art form, combining purely visual art and interpretation of the literary meaning. This type of expression has been widely practiced in China and has been generally held in high esteem across East Asia. Calligraphy is considered one of the four most-sought skills and hobbies of ancient Chinese literati, along with playing stringed musical instruments, the board game "Go", and painting. There are some general standardizations of the various styles of calligraphy in this tradition. Chinese calligraphy and ink and wash painting are closely related: they are accomplished using similar tools and techniques, and have a long history of shared artistry. Distinguishing features of Chinese painting and calligraphy include an emphasis on motion charged with dynamic life. According to Stanley-Baker, "Calligraphy is sheer life experienced through energy in motion that is registered as traces on silk or paper, with time and rhythm in shifting space its main ingredients." Calligraphy has also led to the development of many forms of art in China, including seal carving, ornate paperweights, and inkstones.
In a movie full of symbols and symmetries, it's inevitable to think of him as the old generation, passing to the current (Broken Sword, Flying Snow) and in turn to the new (Nameless, Moon). His dialogue and actions make for his ultimate lesson, though apparently not the last.
In history, the Kingdom of Zhao lost almost all male adults in this battle. But after the first emperor united the land, he reserved 40% of the written characters was used in Zhao.
Zhao’s calligraphy teacher says, “Please remember that arrows might destroy our town and topple our kingdom, but they can never obliterate our culture.” He continues to write in the face of a hail of arrows, showing the essence of Zhao’s culture: self-expression even in the face of death.
"A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee." (Psalms 19:7) "Mil cairão à direita, dez mil à esquerda, e tu não serás atingido" (Salmos, 19:7)
Such a beautiful scene and movie. Every time I wash my mats I think about this scene, especially the red ink. I wish i knew more about the culture to appreciate this scene and this movie to its fullest extent. One of the very best MA movies ever made.

I love it when an arrow breaks Broken Swords stick so he grabs a passing arrow, breaks it and carries on.
This is one of the most beautiful scenes in one of the most beautiful movies ever made.
The old man is badass. He had a beautiful speech and he showed his pride in his culture and not a single arrow hit him
Not pride but spirit

The Old Master was just as hardcore as Broken Sword, Snow, Sky and even Nameless.
