Today we went to a museum to see an exhibition of Chinese calligraphy.What impressed me most is that the author is a student from Nanjing foreign language school.That makes me proud because I am a student from that school too.China is one of the countries that has the longest history.Chinese calligraphy also has a long history.
Chinese calligraphy has a long history dated to 4000 years ago. No one can tell exactly when Chinese written language appeared. The oldest language discovered now is Jia Gu Wen. But Jia Gu Wen is a matures written language. The language discovered before it is Tao Wen. Tao Wen is a language far more from mature. Actually it's hard to be called a language. People think there should be some written languages between Tao Wen and Jia Gu Wen. But no supporting archaeological discovery appeared so far.
People don't know when Chinese written language appeared,but I can give an example to let people know that it has appeared for a long long time. We all know that Qin Shi Huang is one of the famous emperors.Qin Shi Huang united the old China in 221 B.C. The official language used in Qin dynasty is Xiao Zhuan. Calligraphy had already been an art at that time. Calligraphy works of Qin dynasty are always high evaluated by calligraphers in history.
Today we saw lots of kinds of calligraphy,such as JIA GU WEN,Zhen Shu and Cao shu.........I think calligraphy is not only an writing skill but also a kind of art,a treasure of Oriental arts.Every character in calligraphy is written like a beautiful flower.I love calligraphy,especially the Chinese calligraphy.I am proud of being a Chinese.
