The design of this item is inspired by Huai-su Autobiography from National Palace Museum. Huai-su(ca.702-799) was a native of Ch'ang-sha Hunan province. During his childhood, he became a Buddhist monk and was totally engrossed in calligraphy. At first he studied the calligraphy of Wu T'ung (ca.756-762) who studied the cursive calligraphy of Chan Hsu. When he went to Ch'ang-an (modern Sian, Sheni province), because of his artwork he was able to associate with ministers and officials, and subsequently gained great fame. Throughout his life, Huai-su lived in a carefree manner heedless of restrictions. Once he discussed cursive calligraphy with a calligrapher Yen Chen-ch'ing(709-785) saying, "When I see extraordinary mountains in summer clouds, I try to imitate them. Good calligraphy resembles a flock of birds darting out of the trees or startled snakes scurrying into the grass or cracks bursting in a shattered will. " When Yen Chen-ch'ing remarked, "what about strains from a leaky roof?" Huai-su stood up, put his hands together in a polite gesture and said, "exactly".
