Bill (比尔): Chinese Caligraphy

  • ShriNagesh · 1 year ago
    Hi Bill,

    Chinese script looks very artistic. I wonder how much more time it takes to write the same word in English & Chinese. Each alphabet seems to have many strokes.

    Have fun :)

    @ShriNagesh: Thanks. For me it takes forever to write a single character. However, watching someone who has grown up writing the language is a completely different story.

    But, interestingly, when you see English and Chinese versions of the same text side by side, the english appears much longer. Maybe you have to write less to convey the same meaning in Chinese. Either that, or some of the meaning is lost in translation.
