🎙️ Brushstrokes of the Soul: Discovering Chinese Calligraphy
Think calligraphy is just “pretty handwriting”? Think again. Chinese 书法 (shū fǎ) is a living art that blends language, history, and mindfulness in every stroke.
In this episode, we explore:
🖌️ Why calligraphy is considered painting with words
📜 The journey from oracle bones to modern masterpieces
🏯 Fun traditions — like upside-down 福 (fú) for “good fortune”
✨ How writing characters can feel like meditation in motion
🗣️ Practical Chinese words you can start writing today: 笔 (bǐ), 字 (zì), 人 (rén), 山 (shān), 爱 (ài)
From emperors perfecting their brushstrokes to families hanging festive banners, calligraphy is more than art — it’s a way to connect deeply with culture and language.
