Mandarin calligraphy

Chinese calligraphy is some of the finest art in the world ❤️ My mum has a big piece of beautiful Daoist calligraphy hanging in her living room. The only one I’ve got is a New Year decoration that’s still cellotaped to our kitchen door 😅

This is what real traditional Chinese calligraphy looks like. The style in the video is basically a printed font—purely a modern gimmick for views

Mandarin is only spoken, there's no such thing as "Mandarin calligraphy". It's Chinese calligraphy.

我侄子写的

Every summer when I was a kid, my grandpa taught me how to use a Chinese brush and play Chinese chess. He would write poems and essays on old paper using ancient Chinese characters, then ask me to imitate his brush calligraphy. Back then, I didn’t understand the beauty of it or why he loved it so much. But now, I miss it deeply.

Watching calligraphy videos is weirdly therapeutic 😌

Classical Mandarin Chinese is the Latin of Asia. Its modern version is still used today by the same country that invented it thousands of years ago. However, the real Latin in Europe has already been officially abandoned. Shame.

Chinese calligraphy is a classical East Asian art form that emphasizes brush control, rhythm, and balance. Each stroke reflects both linguistic meaning and artistic expression, making writing itself a form of visual art.

It looks too “font like” right? Usually calligraphy is more stylized,

Beautiful…..

It is an artform.

Wow. 宋體 is evil。😵

Your content is always interesting. I have a website and there's a section that ties into your calligraphy. Ancient Chinese writing has been found to use Genesis in certain character combinations for certain words. Here is the link. I'd appreciate your thoughts

So beautiful

Curious, why not call it Chinese? I have heard that some schools in the United States and Europe place a lot of emphasis on the difference between Mandarin and Chinese

Reminds me of the scribes who write out the Torah in Hebrew. Not allowed to make any mistakes. And they are working with vellum.

To clarify: The video features Seal Script (小篆), which originated in the Qin Dynasty (3rd century BC), long before the Song/Ming printing eras. My main concern here is that this kind of video can be highly misleading to a global audience. It reduces a profound, living art into a rigid, mechanical exercise. Real traditional Chinese calligraphy is defined by its vitality-the dynamic variations in brush pressure, changing ink density, and the artist's inner spirit. The video uses a modern brush-pen to produce flawless, perfectly uniform lines that mimic a digital font. While it’s satisfying to watch, it represents a modern commercial gimmick for views, not the true essence of the culture. The ultimate beauty of Chinese calligraphy lies in its soul and expression, never in looking like a printed template

Exceptional

I had a good written experience this tradition characters with a white brush and the black ink from a black bar, for a few years during my "Chinese primary school".

视频里这玩意更类似印刷体

My dad writes better even with his eyes closed 😉 there are many many more stylish ways of writing

No such thing as Mandarin calligraphy. It might not be a traditional font but is a beautiful stroke nonetheless.

Cosa ha immaginato mentre inventava questo lo saprà solo chi lo ha inventato 😱 Bello ma impossibile per me personalmente
