The development of Chinese characters has a long and rich history, beginning with the pottery inscriptions in the late Neolithic period, progressing to the oracle bone scripts and bronze inscriptions in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and evolving through small seal scripts after the unification by Qin to clerical scripts during the Qin and Han periods. By the Tang dynasty, Chinese writing system had fully matured and the art of calligraphy scaled new heights. As of today, Chinese characters continue to embody the wisdom of the past and demonstrates the charm of Chinese culture. The exhibition will use simple writings, images of artefacts and vivid illustrations to showcase the development and cultural connotations of Chinese characters.
