Why does Chinese calligraphy trigger my autism so hard? I just think they're neat
It's pure sex
I have a poem about it, wanna read it?
>>24869409here is english version kek
>>24869409It's retarded, but that's what I like about it.
>>24869428do you enjoy hieroglyphic rebuses?this is supposed to spell a story, see for example, reading vertically, right to left, here in red your have the progatonist, you can tell he's strong headed, you even have his horse somewhere along the top, in green you have a mighty dragon, in blue the saloon door he steps into, and finally, in purple you have the defrosting, gentle cycle, tumble dry symbolwith those informations alone, you should be able to piece together this epic journey
>>24869437welp, I uploaded the thumbnail
>>24869440I've been a fan of hieroglyphics since when I was a kid and we had an activity of spelling our name with Egyptian hieroglyphs. Is that a bird top left?
>>24869409>>24869413To bad it sounds like arrows to your head.
>>24869456Kek
>>24869409>calligraphy>posts print
>>24869413Yes, it looks nice, but it's as vague and woolly as fuck when it comes to meaning.This is why the Chinks write great poetry, and terrible instruction manuals.
>>24869409>>24869413>>24869437I'm not a big fan of this more ancient script, too squiggly. But the later calligraphy and woodblock printings are goddamn sublime
>>24869409That's seal script
I drew the one for island in a caligraphy workshop
Can you do this from a book or a YouTube channel? Learn mandarin, i mean.
>>24872624Not bad, but 山 component should be written with 3 strokes starting with the ㇗, and the middle "summit" should be the highest. Also, ㇉ should be written in one stroke, not as ㇑+ ㇆
>>24869413ancient script still retain their raw ideal forms, it's a bridge to the minds of pre-conscious human beings.
>>24873358Thanks. You're spot on on the island radical critique, but the portion about the bird radical is a stylistic choice in Japan vs China. Since I am learning Japanese, that one is correct. I had similar issues with 食 and 飲, but that was just me being wrong lol
>>24874255>island radical山 is a mountain, though.
>>24869440How do you translate into coherent speech? Is it just like looking at some picture and describing it in your own words?
