    Called the Shu Su Tie, this note is said to be the most beautiful calligraphy note in Chinese history. It was written by Mi Fu (1051 A.D. – 1107 A.D.) in Xing Shu style in 1088 A.D. He was a great calligrapher and painter in the North Song Dynasty, and his great acheivements lie in Zhuan Shu, Li Shu, Xing Shu and Cao Shu scripts.

    Shu Su Tie means a calligraphy note that is written on the best silk from Sichuan province. The story goes that a man named Shao Zizhong bought a piece of the finest silk and put it on a scroll to form the Shu Su Tie. His plan was to ask a famous calligraphist to write on it, but three generations passed and no one dared to write on it. Finally, when Lin Xi had been the owner of the Shu Su Tie for over 20 years, he asked Mi Fu to write on it. Being very brave and confident, he wrote eight poems on the silk that have now become a great treasure of Chinese culture.
