Overview
Chinese writing has a long & rich history of evolution & refinement that is entirely unique compared to other writing systems. The characters used are not letters but stylized ideographs, each with its own history. The development of Chinese writing is linked to the history of China's emperors, who commissioned new styles of writing with which to record their victories. Here, master calligrapher Shi Bo uses calligraphic characters & historical & legendary anecdotes to give a fascinating overview of the evolution of seven seminal Chinese writing styles starting in the 17th century B.C.E. He also introduces the reader to the calligrapher's art, including its materials & techniques. Translated from the French edition. Beautifully designed!
