Language and writing
Chinese is the language with the largest number of users in China, and it is also the language with the largest number of users in the world. In China, besides the Han nationality, the Hui, Manchu and She nationalities have basically switched to Chinese.
Modern Chinese can be divided into standard language (Mandarin) and dialect. Chinese dialects are usually divided into ten dialects: Mandarin dialect, Jin dialect, Wu dialect, Hui dialect, Min dialect, Guangdong dialect, Hakka dialect, Gan dialect, Xiang dialect and Pinghua dialect. In terms of language families, the languages spoken by 56 ethnic groups in China belong to five major languages: Sino-Tibetan, Altai, austronesian family, South Asian and Indo-European.
Chinese characters are one of the world's four major self-generated scripts (the other three are Egyptian holy script, Sumerian cuneiform and Mayan script). From the type of characters, Chinese characters can be divided into ideographic characters, logogram characters and syllabic characters. From the letter system, there are ancient Indian letters, Uighur letters, Arabic letters, square letters, Latin letters, Slavic letters and other forms.
Few words can become an art, and none can reach the height of Chinese calligraphy. The works of famous calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and Huang Tingjian have amazed people so far.
