The Traditional Chinese Characters and Calligraphy
The modern shapes of traditional Chinese characters first appeared with the emergence of the clerical script during
the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), and have been more or less stable since the 5th century during
the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420 - 589 AD). The term "traditional" is used to contrast traditional characters
with another standardized set - simplified Chinese characters.
The traditional Chinese writing is good for art design and tattoo!
The art of calligraphy is widely practiced and revered in the East Asian civilizations that use traditional Chinese characters. These include China, Japan, Korea, and formerly Vietnam. The East Asian tradition of calligraphy originated and developed from ancient China, specifically the ink and brush writing of traditional Chinese characters.
The alignment of Chinese characters:
Horizontal alignment - characters are aligned from left to right just like English, this is the modern way to write Chinese characters.
Vertical alignment - characters are aligned from top to bottom.
The style of Chinese characters:
Standard style (Standard script) is the newest of the Chinese calligraphy styles maturing around the 7th century.
Li Book style (Clerical script) is the Chinese calligraphic style which is "square-like" format used since the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD).
Stone Engraving style (Wei script) is another popular Chinese calligraphic style which was used in the 5th century during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
