Historically, Yi script is known as Cuanwen, Cuanzi, Weishu, Luowen, Yiwen, Luoluowen, etc. Its structure and writing have unique characteristics. It is an ancient script created by the Yi ancestors that combines the three elements of form, sound and meaning. It is one of the six ancient scripts in the world and the only living ancient script in existence. It can be inferred from the discovered epigraphic inscriptions and documentary records that the Yi script should not have appeared later than the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The overall characteristics of Yi calligraphy are relatively obvious. In terms of strokes, Yi characters have particularly rich stipple shapes and complex lines. In terms of writing points, Yi characters use horizontal, straight, circular, curved, arc and other lines as the main body, especially arcs and lines. Curves are the main strokes of Yi characters. Some characters have as few as one stroke and as many as more than ten strokes.
Judging from the structural shapes of Yi and Chinese characters, the shape and structure of Yi characters is relatively simple. There are many strokes of circles, curves, and arcs that cannot be seen in Chinese characters. The existence of these features gives Yi characters The calligraphy has added a lot of expressiveness and added many alternative expression forms and techniques, thereby increasing the artistic color of Yi calligraphy works and increasing the appreciation and artistic appeal of Yi calligraphy.
