Widely recognized as a pioneer of “hard-nib calligraphy” (硬笔), a form of the writing art done with fountain pens rather than soft brushes, Pang Zhonghua achieved celebrity status in China in the 1980s promoting his distinctive script. Over the past three decades, over 400 volumes of Pang’s textbooks, collections of calligraphic theory, poems and prose have been published, with a total print run of well over 150 million copies. In addition to his contribution to the art of hard-nib calligraphy, Pang is also a highly innovative educator. He has developed his own calligraphic pedagogy, likening the strokes, lines and pauses of a whole piece of calligraphy to the tone, pitch, and melody of a symphonic piece.
