Chinese Calligraphy 7-Piece Boxed Set
Chinese Calligraphy 7-Piece Boxed Set
Calligraphy is a very ancient Chinese art form. It evolved from the earliest known examples of Chinese writing from the Shang dynasty (ca. 1,600-1,050 B.C.) and established itself as the most important ancient Chinese art form alongside painting during the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-220 A.D.). Today, calligraphy remains an art form widely practiced in China, as well as Japan, and proficiency in it is regarded as a sign of being well-educated.
