Chinese characters are the earliest characters in China, and there are two main forms of their construction: pictographic characters and ideographic characters. Ideographic characters are words that express the form of things through graphics. For example, the word "sun" is a hieroglyphic, and its shape is very similar to the sun. The word "knowledge" is a combination of different pictographs to express an abstract concept, such as the word "Hugh", which is composed of the word "person" and the word "wood" and means to rest under a tree.
The evolution of Chinese characters can be divided into Oracle Bone Inscriptions, inscriptions on bronze, seal script, official script and regular script. Among them, Oracle Bone Inscriptions is one of the earliest forms of Chinese characters, carved on tortoise shells and animal bones, mainly used for Oracle Bone Inscriptions and sacrifice. In Shang and Zhou Dynasties, bronze wares were cast in bronze inscriptions, and their glyphs were more standardized and regular. Lishu is a font used in official documents in Qin and Han dynasties, and its shape is relatively square. Running script is a cursive form of official script, which is often used for quick writing. Regular script is the representative of China's calligraphy, which was formed in the Tang Dynasty. It is one of the most commonly used fonts in modern China calligraphy, with well-balanced strokes, correct fonts and easy recognition.
In a word, calligraphy and Chinese character structure have a long history, which is the treasure of China culture and an important part of world culture.
