The Five Fonts of Chinese Calligraphy

[@Bellg]

Thank you for the English subtitles! I want to learn more about Chinese calligraphy so English language resources by experts is greatly appreciated!!!

This is the best most concise explanation of the the styles of Chinese writing I have seen on KZbin.

I am blown away by this! I'm so interested in this type of stuff but it's not easy to find deeper resources in english, just superficial stuff. I also love that you speak in Cantonese! Are you from HK or elsewhere? Im just curious because you sound more like my Canto speaking relatives in the US rather than HK.

The production quality of this video was excellent. I cannot believe you only have 65 subscribers as I write this on March 7, 2021. Your work is fantastic. I would like to see more examples of oracle bone script and bronze script and how they compare to seal script, since they are rather pictographic and many are easily recognizable to people who do not even read Chinese, such as the ideogram for "mountain", for example.

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.

Bottom one is clerical - top is either cursive or semi!

[@calligraphyphilosophy]

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

[@karstenriisgaard5797]

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

[@RaymondHng]
