Medication of Chinese Calligraphy

Things are always happened incidentally...When i returned some books to library today, i read a little book on why & how to cure your stress for city people. And it has an article on "How Chinese Calligraphy cure stress"

It said some testing has been made to "normal people" Vs "Schizoid disorder people", it said the heart-rate and blood-pressure of Schizoid people has been improved after writing awhile of Chinese calligraphy.

The reasons are:
1) The function of people's right-brain is responsible for "pre-attentive processing" while left-brain is responsible for "analaysis"
(that's why left-hand people usually more creative while right-hand people are more analytical)
2) Disorder people usually have damage on their right-brain while overload the functionability of their left-brain
3) So, when writing Chinese calligraphy, it can stimulate the use of their right-brain while lessen the use of their left-brain
4) Subsequently, it shown improvement on disorder people

You may then ask a next question, why only happen on Chinese calligraphy? but not English calligraphy?

Good question, it said English calligraphy also has an effect on "relaxation" but the effect is not as obvious as Chinese calligraphy. It is because:
--> Chinese characters are more complicated, so, when people write chinese calligraphy, they normally take longer time to complete a word. During your writing, it is scientifically proved that the activity of your brain has been slower down; while during your rest, the activity of your brain has been speed-up. So, that's why Chinese calligraphy has obvious result than English calligraphy

Well, such made me has an comment: City people normally not write (they type), so, their brain-activity always keep at high level without rest; that's maybe one of the reason that more and more city people has mental-disorder problem

this topic also remind me one thing. i remember that some hosiptals in Spain use "Chinese calligraphy" as a medication to the patients....hahhaha, should I take more "Spanish calligraphy" to lessen my stress~~~
