Calligraphy started in China and spread to other parts of Asia with Chinese culture. It has a history of more than 4,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters (汉字) and the rules of writing with a brush. When you practise calligraphy, it is important to pay attention to the changes of the strokes (笔画) and the spaces between characters. There are many famous calligraphers in history, such as Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. Different calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and personalities (性格). Today, they can be seen on the walls of offices, shops, hotels and many other places. “If I live in China, I will become a calligrapher rather than a painter for sure.” the world‑famous artist, Picasso said. He fell in love with Chinese calligraphy as soon as he saw Zhang Daqian’s works. The tool for practising calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made of the hair of different animals. Practising calligraphy takes a lot of time and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practising with a teacher right away. Calligraphy, an amazing traditional art form, shows the love that all Chinese people have for culture and beauty. Chinese people of all ages often practise calligraphy, not to be calligraphers, but to enjoy a peaceful mind. 9. How long is the history of Chinese calligraphy? A. Less than 4,000 years. B. Over 4,000 years. C. More than 5,000 years. D. About 5,000 years. 10. How many calligraphers does the writer mention in the passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 11.

Learning calligraphy well needs an experienced teacher’s help. D. Calligraphy brushes are too expensive for people to buy nowadays.
