Chinese calligraphy is an ancient art dating back nearly 4000 years ago. The earliest forms were written on the shells of turtles. During the Han Dynasty, calligraphy as an art form really began to take off. An art form in its own right, East Asian calligraphy has influenced other artistic mediums including ink and wash paintings, inkstones, seal carving, and ornate paper weights.

Chinese calligraphy is varied and diverse. Square, rigid, expressionist, and abstract forms are all apart of the art form. The strokes themselves are not the only important aspect though. The Four Treasures of the Study – brush, ink, ink slab, and paper – are also important to the study of calligraphy. The tools have an almost spiritual importance.
