A man argued with his wife, so they didn¡¯t talk to each other. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day he would need his wife to wake him up at 6 am for an early-morning business flight.

He didn¡¯t want to be the first to break the silence. If he did, he thought he would lose. So he wrote on a piece of paper, ¡°Please wake me up at 6 am.¡± He left it where he knew his wife would find it.

The next morning, the man woke up. He found it was already 9 am and he had missed his flight. He was very angry. He was about to go and see why his wife hadn¡¯t woken him up. Then he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, ¡°It is 6 am. Wake up.¡±

Ancient China produced many types of beautiful works of art. Among them, calligraphy (Êé·¨), poetry (Ê«¸è) and painting were the most famous. Often they would be put together in art. These became important starting with the Song Dynasty.

Calligraphy is the art of handwriting. In the old time, the Chinese considered writing as an important form of art. Calligraphers would practise for years to learn to write perfectly, but with style. Each of over 40, 000 characters (ºº×Ö) needed to be written correctly. And each stroke (±Ê»­) in a character had to be written in a certain order.

Poetry was also an important form of art. Great poets were famous all over the country, but all educated people were expected to write poetry. During the Tang Dynasty, poetry was so important that writing poetry was part of the examinations to become a civil servant (ÎĹÙ) and work for the government.

Chinese painting was often connected with calligraphy. It is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world. The most traditional way of Chinese painting is known as ¡°national¡± or ¡°native¡± painting, which is quite different from Western painting. People can draw mountains, homes, bird, trees and water on it.
