Homework
Dear Tom，
To learn more about Chinese civilization, I recommend taking the calligraphy course.
The written Chinese can date back to ancient times. At first, it was a picture-based language and then became a well-deveoped writing system. In the Qin Dynasty, it began to develop in one direction.
The calligraphy is an art form and a means to connect the present and the past. It shows the character of the “man behind the brush”. So it’s an important part of Chinese culture.
Yours,
Lihua
