Evolution of Chinese Character 生 in Calligraphy Styles

Chinese calligraphy styles http://www.art-virtue.com/styles/

It's not necessary for a Chinese calligraphy teacher / student and a Mandarin Chinese teacher/student to teach or learn various styles of Chinese calligraphy and 異體字 (variant Chinese characters) unless one is determined to master Chinese linguistics, calligraphy, sinology, seal carving, and/or etymology ( 文字學 ). Please understand that no one is able to memorize all those variant versions of Chinese characters in different calligraphy styles and this video only includes some portion of the different versions of a character and is not intended to confuse a beginner when learning Chinese. The different versions of characters and their brushstroke methods are usually good sources of learning Chinese history and calligraphy and their related subjects.

To search for a specific Chinese character, please use " Free Chinese Calligraphy Dictionary from www.9610.com "

@Vivaldifriend Thank you. I enjoy Vivaldi's music as well as appreciating Chinese arts. Vivaldi always has freshness in his music which soothes my mind.
