Chinese characters are world famous. It’s the longest living character in the world. Of the several old writing systems created in the ancient times, it is the only existing one so far.
Zhuge is teaching us how to write with a bamboo brush. Firstly, you need to sit straightly; secondly, you should also hold a brush in a straight line so that you can write in a correct way.
Last week our teacher Zhuge introduced us to Chinese calligraphy. We learned how to hold a brush correctly and practiced writing the character yong (永). Did you know the eight strokes that make up this character can be called the Eight Principles of Yong? They are all different and represent the basic strokes of calligraphy.
