There are four main roles in Beijing Opera- Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Each plays its part in its own way. Third, I like the singing style and the music. The singing style of Beijing Opera is very popular among its fans, and the traditional Chinese instruments like erhu and sanxian make the music so pleasant to the ear.

I like Chinese calligraphy for many reasons. First, the writing brushes, ink sticks, paper, and inkstones — the “Four Treasures of the Study” — are really special. Each tool stands for a part of traditional Chinese culture. For example, a good writing brush can make the strokes so smooth, and high - quality ink gives the characters a nice shine. Second, I think the different styles of calligraphy are amazing. There are five main styles — Zhengshu (regular script), Caoshu (cursive script), Xingshu (running script), Lishu (official script), and Zhuanshu (seal script). Each shows beauty in its own way. Third, I like the feeling when writing. Writing calligraphy makes me calm, and seeing the beautiful characters I create is so satisfying. The lines and structures of the characters are like a dance on the paper.
Falling in Love with Chinese Calligraphy
My name is Li Hua. When I was seven, my father introduced Chinese calligraphy to me, and I fell in love with it right away.
