If you turn on the subtitles (cc), you can read the translation in English.

中國文化和書法其實有很多有趣的地方，而且每個地方都有自成一角的文化，真係覺得學海無涯

Theres a ?muesum? In China this offers this

In my opinions, there were two main reasons to change to horizontal writing in other countries. First, "westernization" was considered modern and advanced a century ago. During the New Culture Movement in China in 1910s and 1920s, there was discussion to abolish the traditional Chinese writing and replace it with alphabetic words. The desire to change everything to a western way also made some people believe that the horizonal way of writing in the western world was better. Second, from a technical point of view, it is easier to print horizontally if both English and Chinese are in the same article. Otherwise, you need to turn the paper 90 degrees to print the English phase in a vertical writing. In Japan, the desire of westernization was not as profound as in China because Japanese were keen on protecting their own culture. There was a proposal back in the 1940s to change to horizonal writing in Japan but it was opposed due to the nationalism in the second world war. It is also my impression that Japanese don’t use as much foreign languages as other places, so the need of horizontal printing may not be as high as other places. As at today, many Japanese are still reluctant to speak English to tourists, so it could be the need of quoting English phases in a Japanese article is not as high? But horizonal writing is not uncommon in Japan today. Online newspaper such as Yomiuri Shimbun is published horizontally. During the Meiji era, some books were printed horizontally but it just never becomes the mainstream. Actually, I think the development fits my perception on Japanese - they are keen to keep traditions.

@@calligraphyphilosophy Thank you for an informative and interesting reply. Learned quite a bit today. By the way, I'm quite surprised to see a Hong Konger in Denmark? You don't see many Hong Kongers outside the English speaking countries. Speaking as a Malaysian, I do find Malaysians in many countries around the world but not Hong Kongers.

She's from Hong Kong, so, durr.

@@laobok Did I just stated the obvious? 😅

Thank you very much for the kind words. I love calligraphy and history - but it is indeed a niche subject. It is quite interesting how the writing evolved - starting with simple pictograms written in a style suitable for the medium that carried the writing, up till now, where both technological and esthetical develoment has shaped the writing style.

Ok - reserved for you! :)

Thank you very much!

Yes, it is in Xi’an - the old capital of China. It’s called Women Cultural Museum. However, I cannot find an official website of the museum.

Thank you :)

Bottom one is correct But you need to choose which one is on top :p

Calligraphy Philosophy Then my final guess is cursive! Looks like one stroke per character

Frankie Wong 中左一半，遲d開估😜

下面係隸書，有d字借用左篆書既一部分，例如「書」字入面個日字好似一個太陽
