Chinese character culture

In modern western psychology, fonts are considered to be the most vivid embodiment of human character. I remember that Holmes made brilliant deductive reasoning about fonts in his investigation. Twenty-six letters were written by different people, showing off, hesitating, being firm or hesitating.

Nowadays, investigating fonts has become an important reference for recruiting employees. A person's temper, such as impatience, ups and downs, foresight, or caution, is directly revealed in the ink of the nib. However, font, as an art, is unique in China. Xian's father and son, Yan Gu and Zuisu made calligraphy, as a kind of literati skill, enter the elegant hall, and also entered the ranks of the four wonders of calligraphy and painting very early.

Today, practicing calligraphy has been a way to improve cultural literacy and cultivate one's morality, and even calligraphy has become the basic element of Chinese etiquette. The glyphs of Chinese characters are art in themselves.

Every Chinese character is square, solid in bones and muscles, rigorous in structure, but easy to control in character. Oracle Bone Inscriptions used to be pictographic, but now the literature is literal, but the ideographic function of Chinese characters as pictographs has never changed. What is more commendable, however, is that each Chinese character seems to have a delicate composition and proper proportion, which makes this symbol endowed with too many artistic connotations.
