More than ten thousand seal script "壽" characters, not one of them is the same. The seemingly simple "壽" character can be written in 10,080 different ways just in small seal script. Do you believe it? Yesterday, Mr. Zhu Jiannan from Purple荆Yuan Community in Kaifu District showcased for the first time his calligraphy masterpiece, the "Hundred Blessings Ten Thousand Longevities" scroll, which took him six years to create. This work, 118 meters long and 0.5 meters wide, features 10,080 seal script "壽" characters and 256 seal script "福" characters, all varying uniquely without any repetition, drawing many citizens to appreciate it.
