Comment: "**calligraphical verse** is particularly true in such situations. As well as calligraphers, officials in China are supposed to be poets. Of course, Malcolm's **praise** and Young's **admiration** also fit the context. Thanks!

| Malcolm. Quite a few officials in China are also calligraphers. Usually in a context as in my question, they would write with a writing brush. These words will be copied and carved on a stone tablet. |
