(Photo : GETTY IMAGES) Calligraphy are very important historical pieces in China. A visitor views ancient Chinese calligraphy works at the 'Wuying Palace' of the Forbidden City.


A woman in Central China is now under house arrest for tearing up a valuable piece of calligraphy after a big quarrel with her husband.



In November 2015, the woman living in Wuhan, central China, tore up a calligraphy written by Han Xuezhong, a former governor of Hubei and a member of the China Calligraphers Association. The calligraphy was reported to have a value of 51,000 yuan (US$7,400). The couple had a fight that led to the calligraphy's destruction.

Her husband's family filed a complaint against her. She was initially detained for 54 days. She was released on parole in 2016 when prosecutors gave back the case to police for further investigation.



She is now placed in house arrest after the parole expired recently.



But the husband didn't go unscathed. She filed a case against him for domestic abuse in August 2015. He was detained and then received one year of jail time.
