Leading Chinese Artists Visit Sydney

A delegation of leading Chinese artists and calligraphers visited Sydney, Australia in July from Guangxi, China.
The group held an exhibition of their work at the City of Sydney Creative Arts Centre and were welcomed to Sydney by Ric Vatner, Publisher and Editor of eSTV.
Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters. To understand calligraphy, one must first know something about Chinese characters. The various nationalities in the world have created their own languages, but the Chinese have created an independent calligraphic art. Why? The reason is mainly related to the features of the language.
Languages fall into two systems; one expresses sound; the other expresses meaning. The cuneiform writing of the Sumerian, the Katakana in the Japanese language, English, French, Russian, German and Latin-these languages are phonetic. The language of the sacred books of ancient Egypt, the pictographic language of Crete, the Chinese language and the language of the Dongba nationality are all ideographic.
