How to View the Evolution of Characters and the Art of Chinese Calligraphy in the Inheritance of Traditional Culture

Chinese calligraphy is one of the outstanding traditional cultures of the Chinese nation, which has not only the practical value of language and writing, but also the value of art appreciation.

Chinese characters, also known as Chinese characters, Chinese characters, and national characters, are ideographic syllabic characters, invented and improved by the Han Chinese, and are one of the four oldest autographs in the world (the cuneiform script of the Two Rivers Valley, the Sacred Script of Ancient Egypt, the oracle bone inscriptions of China's Shang Dynasty, and the Mayan script), and are the only ones that have been in use up to the present day.

Handwriting is the longest continuous use of Chinese characters in the history of the world, and Chinese characters have been used as the main official script in China throughout the ages. A milestone in the development of Chinese characters was the change from the official script to the official script of the Han Dynasty, when Chinese characters were named "hanzi" (隶书).

The evolution of Chinese characters is as follows: prehistoric symbols, oracle bone inscriptions during the Shang Dynasty, gold inscriptions and the Great Seal Script during the Zhou Dynasty, the Small Seal Script and the Preliminary Script during the Qin Dynasty, the Official Script during the Han Dynasty, and the Regular Script, the Cursive Script, and the Running Script during the Tang Dynasty.
