For a smooth form θ=gdz1​∧⋯∧dzn​ of type (n,0), the complex orientation gives in2θ∧θ=2n∣g∣2dx1​∧dy1​∧⋯∧dxn​∧dyn​. Consequently its integral on a compact complex manifold is positive unless θ vanishes identically. Applying Stokes theorem to d(ψ∧dψ​) proves that a holomorphic differential form of degree n−1 on a compact complex n-manifold is closed, without requiring a Kähler metric.
