Writing is the signal to record language and the second mouth to exchange ideas. The appearance of writing gave birth to social civilization. The birth of calligraphy originated from the birth of characters, and the earliest period when characters appeared has not been verified so far. Only in those stories that are close to myth can we find a clue.
China's calligraphy art began in the generation stage of Chinese characters, and the evolution of calligraphy generally refers to the evolution of fonts. Wei-Jin period was the period when fonts were stereotyped and calligraphy skills were born.
China's calligraphy is an ancient art of writing Chinese characters. From ancient times to social civilization, it can be divided into Oracle Bone Inscriptions, ancient prose, big seal script, small seal script, cursive script, running script and original works. From the Jin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the art of calligraphy was the most popular, and cursive script and original works became the mainstream style, resulting in a number of great calligraphers, such as Wang Xizhi, Yu Shinan, Ouyang Qun, Liu Gongquan, Ou Yangxun and Zhu Suiliang, whose achievements in calligraphy were different. Later, after the precipitation of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, China's calligraphy became a national symbol representing the profoundness of China culture. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters and the cultural treasure of the Chinese nation, which shines brightly in the history of human cultural and artistic development. On the one hand, the development of Chinese characters plays the role of ideological exchange and cultural inheritance, on the other hand, it forms a unique artistic style. China's calligraphy was listed as the world's intangible cultural heritage at the fourth meeting of UNESCO's Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage held from September 28th, 2006 to October 2nd, 2003/KLOC-0.
