Question to non-Chinese Shufa practitioners here
I have long had a question regarding Shufa (in particular, Chinese character caligraphy), but I could not get satisfactory answer from native Chinese practitioners. So here goes (for those who parctise Shufa but probably has less knowledge in Chinese language itself):
Can you feel the difference between a piece of well written calligraphy and a piece of work that is poorly written, if you actually could not recognise any of the character in the calligraphy piece? In other words, are you able to identify or discern purely from the formation of black strokes and white spaces without any associated literal meaning, that one of the pieces is "more beautiful" compare to the other?
If you are able to do so, may I know what are the observable metrics (for the lack of a better word) that makes such differentiation?
