Chinese Calligraphy and Ink Grinding ASMR
Ойын-сауық
Relax as I show you a few things and then grind some ink and resume practicing some Chinese Calligraphy.
I recently acquired a stick of Chinese stick ink and a small ink stone in which to grind it. This is my second attempt at the art of Chinese calligraphy. One thing is evident...I have much to learn.
In China, calligraphy is referred to as Shūfǎ which literally means the way, or method of writing. I certainly found the whole process of grinding the ink and then brushing it onto some paper, to be extremely relaxing. There is an order that the strokes are to made in and as a beginner, I only have a faint idea of what I'm doing. I plan to do a series of these videos perhaps I'll learn along the way and be able to memorize not only the symbols themselves, but also the order of the brush strokes used to create each. Nevertheless, I found this to be very relaxing and I hope you find that the video brings you calmness and perhaps sleep.
My videos are best enjoyed using headphones or earbuds.
The videos on my KZread channel portray some of the typical day-to-day activities that I do for relaxation. This video was produced with relaxation in mind and hopefully has some ASMR qualities. Too much stress is harmful to your well-being and in today’s fast-paced world, stress management is more important than ever, and so I hope this ASMR video acts as a stress reliever for those watching and a sleep-aid for anyone having a difficult time falling asleep.

The brush should be dipped in cold water before use to melt the glue on the tip.After the brush is used, it should also be washed with cold water.After cleaning, the brush should be hung on the penholder to let it dry.Calligraphy is an important part of Chinese culture.I am very happy to share this art with you.
That intro, and especially the little joyful self-aware laugh at the end of it, was amazing.
I’m crying after that intro 😂 excited for another video
I love how gentle slow and relaxing all your motions and speaking is
All of the ambient sound from outside like the rain and the passing train are the most calming sounds. I'm very glad you do not edit those things out. A great video yet again.
Watching an asmr video in a duvet fort as a 20 something year old is... Recommended. I feel so safe and cosy 😂

“Sorry I haven’t made a video in several weeks...it hasn’t thunderstormed in a while”
Love your videos. That might seem a little blah and not mean much from one subscriber, but I'm pretty sure I speak for most people that listen to your ASMR Channel 👍
I have watched this video twice and I haven’t even seen you write yet! I keep falling asleep as you talk about the box. 3rd times a charm

💚 the pen holder. Beautiful. You can't notice the chips.. and it didn't crack or break! 👍Thank you for another top shelf video.
You have a Cardinal bird signing in your backyard. Those are beautiful birds with a nice distinct song they make. :) You can hear it signing throughout the video.
That opening was too cute!!
Best intro to an ASMR video ever.
Man you sure seem to get a lot of rain in your neck of the woods🌂☁

I hope you indeed decide to do more Chinese calligraphy because your characters (judging from the March video) look way better than the usual beginners'. You already have a feel for balancing the various elements in a character. Imagine what you can do, armed with all the tools of this art form! For those interested, below are two web pages that could help a person get started. How each stroke is made contributes to the rhythm/flow of your calligraphy so it’s totally worth learning. Watching a brush in action is best but the diagrams at blog.tutorming.com/mandarin-chinese-learning-tips/7-basic-rules-to-chinese-stroke-order are also helpful. Then there's getting the stroke order right which can be daunting but it's important to the composition of the characters since each stroke is made in relation to the previous one(s). You can follow the animation at www.chineseconverter.com/en/convert/chinese-stroke-order-tool (try the slow speed!). This shows the path your brush should take on the paper while making the brush strokes. Man, I hope this makes sense…looking forward to more ASMR from you!

This is a very nice comment. I like people who encourage others.
Welcome back. Thanks for another video.
This video was one of your most relaxing and also I love every thing Chinese (or Asian in general) so yeah I really enjoyed this video👍
Nice video so far! love the content its worth the wait
I laughed so hard during the intro. I don't think I've seen that side of you before...well played.
Welcome back! Your tied for my favorite ASMRTIST just so relaxing 😴
I've watched your videos for like 4 years now and I've always been sooo curious as to where you live/what your house looks like. Can you do like a room/house tour maybe?
Really looking forward to more of these. One of my favorites from your videos.
Can't wait for the funny car video i also think a video of those boy scout patches i saw in the intro of the rainy night pocket knife sharpening video would be very cool to see either way keep up the great work
Just awesome again.
I really like your videos man! Would love it if you upload more often 😁
always glad to see you upload!
Plz make more of the ink grinding! Pleaseeeee
This intro... I'm crying right now ^^ Nice video
Welcome back! Lovely video. I think you also follow Yang Haiying who makes very good Chinese calligraphy videos. In fact I think I followed her because you do!
Love seeing the channel grow! Great vid!
That was a beautiful intro ♥️
Hilarious intro!!!
Best intro ever
Welcome back!
Keep going the best ASMR videos ever
Best intro ever.
So many tingles and love the pen holder!! Those brushes are beautiful and look similar to white cloud brushes. I would recommend in your free time to just let them sit in room temp. Water because many manufacturers glue the bristles together for shipping but after they soak and wash, they will be very nice and free flowing! Your stroke order has improved very much! And practice stroke order with numbers is a great way to practice order because it has the basic rules! Just one little thing to remember, 5 is 五 the pinyin is wǔ just Incase you wanted to look it up. Keep doing what your doing!! Love it!
Nice intro dude , made me chuckle
and also the brushes have a sort of glue on them when new you should get them wet to get rid of this before using them
if you let the ink stick soak in the water for a good while it won't make that rough scraping sound
Holaaa,, muy bueno me encanta. La tormenta de fondo saludossss.... URUGUAY..
It's giving me anxiety when you just hoovering the brush over the paper and not painting anything :Ddd I was anxious to see the results
The perfect intro doesn’t exi-

He confused with the "king". 왕 왕.
I'm no expert but I believe you're meant to dip the brush in water to get the glue out of the bristles. That way the brush can flow more freely.
Omg so nice
I have a question. Can you do more nascar stuff?
hahah this into cracked me up!! :)
I need part 2!
whether is always bad⛈️ but your videos are always pretty good☺☺
Cool channel!
I have gotten ASMR as far back as I remember. It started during the days of Bob Ross when I recognized it. I now attribute it to my mild sleep apnea that makes my body malfunction and send chills and shivers. A sleep study showed that I snore some, have about 40-50 hypopneas (shallow or slow breathing episodes or airway closures due to obstructive sleep apnea) per night and about 100 breathing events of shallow or slow breathing per night. It feels like I ran a marathon in the morning. A warning to anyone out there who feels something similar...get yourself checked.
happy to see my country arts here

good stuff! It's always nice to see blown glass function as something else than as "pipes" or as incredibly high-brow, rarely attainable Chihuly-style art. I DO really like Chihuly though. Just sayin' :)
He is KZread grandpa and Sherly Curry is KZread grandma. We must protect our grandparents! Their channels are rude free zones!
That's no pen holder, baby... That's a "tobacco" pipe, man...

Hey, I checked out a library book today called “Janesville, an American Story”, by Amy Goldstein. It was at my library here in NC of all places! It begins with a history of the city, including Parker Pens! 😊 it’s mostly about the GM plant shutting down and the effect it had there. My uncle ran the boilers there at the plant for more than 30 years and I can’t imagine how it affects him losing that career all of a sudden. Anyway, it’s a good read so far and I think you’d like it.

Yes, I'm familiar with the book and the author. That plant closing down really was a blow to that town. Did you get to the part where many of the auto workers car-pooled back and forth to an out of state plant just so their families could make it? My dad worked there.
nice 'pen holder' haha
Me: (see's another video posted) aww yeah (see's this entrance) *Instant like*
What got you started in calligraphy? It's so interesting

what the hell that intro lmao
Love your videos... but this time I think you definitely should of ran the brushes by your wife, the artist. She probably would of known to presoak the brushes to dissolve the glue holding the bristles together. Hopefully the brush didn't get ruined and you can use it again. PS, please don't cut or saw those Chinese brushes. They are designed and built that way(long, thick, ect) for a special purpose. There are tons of videos on KZread about them specifically, and using them for different purposes like, Calligraphy, drawing, standard writing, and so on.
Not sure if someone linked it but check out yanghaiying. She has very relaxing and knowledgeable videos ranging from painting and calligraphy to simply making tea. Some of my favorites are her just grinding ink.
first 15 seconds... whut?

tony Kanji was used by the Chinese first, and then the Japanese started using it too. It's the same, but with different readings.
