Calligraphy:
China's calligraphy is an ancient art of writing Chinese characters. Calligraphy has always exuded artistic charm, from Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Yunnan, to Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan and Lishu, and then to cursive script, regular script and running script in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Wei and Jin Dynasties. China's calligraphy is an original performance art of the Han nationality, which is known as: poetry without words, dancing without words; Painless paintings, silent music.
