Calligraphy Gift Ideas for Business Leaders & Entrepreneurs

When words like “vision,” “growth” and “integrity” are written with a master’s brush and framed on an office wall, they stop being slogans and become statements of values. In China, commissioned calligraphy has long been the gift of choice for business openings, anniversaries, promotions and partnerships. Here are fifty inscriptions curated for entrepreneurs and successful professionals — thirty phrases and twenty couplets — with the meaning and best occasion for each.

The Business Meaning of Calligraphy
