Purchase of Chinese Calligraphy

The net cut me off from blogger for all these days. I was eventually able to get home today.

We went for Family Pan's Gargen(Pan Jia Yuan), which is an interesting market for selling old stuffs, like Chinese calligraphy (tools), paintings, jade, old books, furnitures, old containers for wine, clocks, watches, anyway, all of these stuff are as old and characterictericstic in our eyes, however, they are valueble in someone's eyes. Beijing was cold the day before yesterday though the sun is out, while the outdoor market are crowded with people. Stuffs are cheap outdoors but it may raise a bit when come into the shops.

We found four rows of booths selling calligraphy. A 60 year old like calligraphor was creating his work when we arrived. His work is rather expensive but looks pretty nice. Generally speaking, the calligraphy in this market are cheaper for those famous calligraphor's works are not sold here. The stuff in this market are fordable for most turists from all over the world.
