The history of Chinese calligraphy is the history of Chinese characters. Chinese characters originated from ancient pictures and symbols; to the oracle bone inscriptions we all know; to the bronze inscriptions or inscriptions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which are the words on bronze vessels; By the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty's seal script, the seal script was divided into large seal script and small seal script. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were large seal script and small seal script. After the Qin unified the six countries, the small seal script was uniformly used; Regular script and running script appeared in the development of calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi, and "the best running script in the world" appeared by Wang Xizhi; in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, great masters such as Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Zhu Tunliang, and Ouyang Xun appeared. At this time, the development of regular script reached its peak. From then on, regular script, running script, and cursive script began to develop in parallel; later, Su Shi, Mi Fu, Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin, Dong Qichang and so on appeared!
