　　In a sense, Chinese is a very old language, and its earliest characters date back nearly four thousand years ago.

　　During their long history of development, Chinese characters have evolved into many different script forms,

　　such as the Seal script, Clerical script, Regular script and Running script. Chinese calligraphers usually render

　　their Chinese characters in ways that exaggerate the form to yield artistic beauty, such as those in stone inscriptions

　　seen in tourist resorts. Chinese calligraphy is a subject of artistic study. As your interest in Chinese character system

　　increases in the days to come, we will introduce in due time the different schools of Chinese calligraphy, and how to

　　appreciate the artistic beauty of Chinese calligraphy.
