Chinese calligraphy is a traditional form of writing characters with a long history. It has existed (存在) for about 1,000 years. There are five main kinds of traditional Chinese calligraphy. They are zhuanshu, lishu, kaishu, xingshu and caoshu. Through centuries of practice, Chinese calligraphy can be seen on the walls of offices, shops, hotels, and houses. Calligraphy isn’t only popular among the Chinese. Picasso, the world-famous master of art, once said, “If I once lived in China, I must have become a calligrapher (书法家) rather than a painter.” Art has no borders, right? Well, practicing Chinese calligraphy needs basic instruments. They are brush, inkstick (墨), paper, and inkstone (砚). We Chinese call them the “Four Treasures of the Study”. It’s impossible for everyone to become a master of Chinese calligraphy. But practicing it more often is really useful and helpful. First, you can learn hand-writing to improve your understanding of Chinese characters. Next, it is believed that calligraphers enjoy a long life because the practice is a good form of physical training. Besides, you have to get concentrated (全神贯注的) and have a peaceful mind when practicing it. This way, you will get improved and your worries will be gone. Some primary schools offer lessons to teach students Chinese calligraphy. There are also clubs of Chinese calligraphy started by calligraphy lovers. Chinese calligraphy is an important part of our traditional culture. We should pass on this kind of classical culture. 1．How long has Chinese calligraphy existed? ____________________________________________ 2．Where can we see Chinese calligraphy? ____________________________________________ 3．What are brush, inkstick, paper and inkstone called? _____________________________________
