Chinese characters are an inseparable existence in oriental culture. Chinese characters are poetic and picturesque expressions. The cooperation of several Chinese characters like brothers and sisters is a vivid description: “the sunset and solitary ducks fly together, and the autumn water is the same as the sky.” Look, how wonderful it is. In just a dozen words, it materializes the strange creation of nature on a page.

Chinese characters are as energetic as the sun. Look at Dai Wangshu’s when it’s sunny. That word shows the graceful Phoenix and butterfly in the sun, and the inexhaustible life in the stamens is blooming its own beauty.

Chinese characters are as flexible and free as clouds and flowing water. There is the shock and exaggeration of “flying down 3000 feet”, the vitality of “blowing the embankment willows drunk with spring smoke”, and the leisure of “the mountain is empty and the rain is strange”. The combination of a few words, like the pendulum and spelling of building blocks, constitutes a beautiful picture.

Chinese characters are strings of notes, singing joys and sorrows for life. The beauty of Chinese characters lies in the expression of true feelings, the essence of beauty, reaching the soul and resonating with the 5000 year old Chinese civilization.

Teacher’s comments: the little author loves reading, loves words and worships heroes. Between the lines, he exudes the spirit of a book.
