In the long history of the Chinese nation for more than 6000 years, the origin of lettering is synchronous with the formation of ancient Chinese characters. But it has always been an affiliated art of calligraphy, and it also declined when feudal rule collapsed.
In the mid-1980s, after nearly a century of degradation, lettering was re-studied by some calligraphers on the road of calligraphy revival. Due to the social environment at that time, it was mostly confined to self-entertainment. Nowadays, with the progress of science and technology and the impact of modern urban civilization, people have been getting farther and farther away from the ancient traditional art. We finally realize that the combination of calligraphy and lettering can meet the needs of the development of the times and give us the ancient traditional culture of the Chinese nation to inherit and innovate in the times.
