When did China's calligraphy art originate?

China's calligraphy art began in the generation stage of Chinese characters. "Voice can't spread in different places, but stay in different times, so words were born. Writer, so it is the trace of Italian sound. " (The Book of Lin Zao, edited by Ma Zonghuo) As a result, words were produced. The earliest works of calligraphy art are not words, but some descriptive symbols-hieroglyphics or picture words.

Symbols depicting Chinese characters first appeared on pottery. The primitive depiction symbol only represents a rough concept of chaos and has no exact meaning.

More than 8,000 years ago, magnetic mountain culture and Peiligang cultures appeared in the Yellow River Basin. There are many characters-like symbols on the handmade ceramics unearthed in Pei Ligang, which are the chaotic combination of the communication function, note-taking function and pattern decoration function of our ancestors. Although these are not recognizable Chinese characters, they are indeed the embryonic forms of Chinese characters.
