Video: Ginkgo in Chinese calligraphy

This video on YouTube by kameitsutomu shows the writing of  Yin Hsing (Xing) or  Silver apricot  (Ginkgo)  in Chinese/Japanese characters. Read more about the name on my website: Name-page.

Wikipedia:
"The art of writing Chinese characters is called Chinese calligraphy. It is usually done with ink brushes. In ancient China, Chinese calligraphy is one of the Four Arts of the Chinese Scholars. There is a minimalist set of rules of Chinese calligraphy. Every character from the Chinese scripts is built into a uniform shape by means of assigning it a geometric area in which the character must occur. Each character has a set number of brushstrokes; none must be added or taken away from the character to enhance it visually, lest the meaning be lost. Finally, strict regularity is not required, meaning the strokes may be accentuated for dramatic effect of individual style. Calligraphy was the means by which scholars could mark their thoughts and teachings for immortality, and as such, represent some of the more precious treasures that can be found from ancient China."

Ginkgo espalier Cambridge Univ. Botanic Garden

Cambridge University Botanic Garden, UK, writes on its website:
"The stiff habit of the branches makes the Maidenhair an ideal and unusual candidate for training against a wall, a lovely example of which you can find on the north wall of the listed arts and craft building in the centre of the Garden, Cory Lodge. This treatment pays homage to two outstanding, espaliered Maidenhairs that were planted against the New Botany School (now the Department of Plant Sciences off Downing Street) when it opened in 1904. The Garden’s Arboriculture team prune and train the espaliers annually in late winter, tying in the leading shoots and shortening spurs to three or four buds. Today, these espaliered Maidenhairs are immense, having reached over 13 metres, and frame many of the windows. The logo of the Department of Plant Sciences is a Ginkgo leaf set within a double helix."
