It uses a brush and ink (墨水) on special paper to create Chinese characters (文字). This art form dates back over 3,000 years to the first Chinese characters found on bones. 36 But over time, it developed into a respected art form. 37 The way the brush is held, the movement of the hand and the speed of writing are all important. In addition, the shape of each character and how they are showed on the paper make the art look great. It is more than just how it appears, and it also shows the writer’s feelings and thoughts. 38 This work is a treasure in Chinese culture and history, showing the development of Chinese characters and the art of writing. Calligraphy isn’t just for famous people like Wang Xizhi. 39 For example, people can show their own calligraphy on couplets (对联) during the Spring Festival.
