China: Chinese script. Tang Dynasty calligraphy attributed to Zhong Shaojing

Zhong Shaojing was an official of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE) and Wu Zetian's Zhou Dynasty (690-705), briefly serving as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Ruizong. Zhong's calligraphy was so frequently requested that almost all horizontal boards and signs of famous palaces and buildings were inscribed by him during the time of Empress Wu Zetian.
