Writing Chinese

Many Chinese spend a great deal of time studying calligraphy. To be able to write (or more accurately paint) Chinese characters requires lots of practice as well as knowing both the brush strokes and the order in which to make them.

Traditional and Simplified

When you start learning Chinese you soon across the fact that there are two written forms still in use, the simplified form used in China and the old, traditional form. With 4,000 years of use the written Chinese language has many archaic features. On the formation of the Peoples' Republic an ambitious reform of the script was instigated which has made the learning of the characters far easier.

Japan and China

History of the often difficult relations between China and Japan. The Japanese occupation of China 1937-45 and continued U.S. support for Japan continues to add friction between the two neighbors.
