A collector's study glyph — grief as the root of compassion.
BĒI 悲 · Sorrow — an original Chinese calligraphy design in the structural regular script of Shi Zhiguo — the Sui-dynasty monk who wrote one of calligraphy's first handbooks on balancing characters.
In Chinese thought, bēi is the character behind compassion (慈悲) — as the Nine Songs of Chu put it: "Nothing is sadder than parting while still alive."
