書法, or Chinese calligraphy, is the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush. It emphasizes the beauty of each stroke and the overall composition of the characters. Practitioners, known as 書法家, use various techniques and styles, such as 楷書 (regular script) and 行書 (running script), to express their artistic vision. This ancient art form dates back thousands of years and is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. It is not only a means of communication but also a way to convey emotions and aesthetics. Calligraphy is often displayed in galleries and is considered a prestigious skill among scholars and artists.
