That type of art is called &ldquo;ink and wash painting&rdquo; \u6c34\u58a8\u753b Sh&egrave;ngd&agrave;n. The following is an example:<\/p>\n<p>  While Christmas time is fast approaching, I&rsquo;d like to present a video tutorial on how to write word &ldquo;\u5723\u8bde Sh&egrave;ngd&agrave;n&rdquo; (Christmas) in Chinese calligraphy.
