What is cut is still one line.
伤 Shāng · Wound — an original Chinese calligraphy design in the flowing cursive founded by Zhang Zhi — the Sage of Cursive whose one-stroke line was described as "completed in a single stroke; where it lifts, the blood-vessel does not break."
In Chinese thought, shāng means the wound — grief, the place where the line is cut and holds — as the Classic of Poetry puts it: "Only so the grief does not last forever."
