Translations of traditional Chinese writing
Traditional writing is China’s cultural heritage, and calligraphy has always held a special place in Chinese history.

Writing with traditional characters
The development of the traditional writing form is extremely complicated.
In early times, the brush was an essential writing tool. But depending on the writer’s level of skill, brush handwriting could be unreadable since only correct brush strokes could produce legible characters. Through the influence of foreign cultures, the use of other writing instruments took root in China. Ink pens, pencils and ballpoint pens replaced traditional writing since they made it possible to write faster and smaller.
Instant quotationTraditional Chinese today
Only a few people today have the traditional Chinese writing skills of the old masters, as a glance at historical documents demonstrates. Only those Chinese who attended school prior to the Cultural Revolution possess a deeper insight into the art of traditional writing.
Today, there is a tendency to view traditional writing as a symbol of education and one to be used in literary works and scientific texts.
