Hello, everyone, welcome to my school.

Calligraphy (书法) is a traditional art form in China. It has been around {#blank#}1{#/blank#}thousands of years. It involves writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink, creating beautiful and expressive works of art.

Like oil painting and sculpture(雕塑) in the West, calligraphy is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}art form and á spiritual support rather than a way of record for many Chinese. When writing, many calligraphers will forget all worries and even {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they). At the same time, it shows the love {#blank#}4{#/blank#}all Chinese people have for life and beauty.

The Orchid Pavilion Preface(《兰亭序》) is a famous Chinese calligraphic work{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (write) by Wang Xizhi. It is regarded as one. of the most popular pieces of calligraphy in Chinese history. The pre face thinks highly of the beauty of nature and the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (happy) of friendship. It is said that Wang Xizhi {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(create) it at a gathering of friends at the Orchid Pavilion in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province.

{#blank#}8{#/blank#}Aeral) speaking, "The Orchid Pavilion Preface" is not only a famous work of calligraphy, but also an important cultural symbol of China. It represents the highest achievement of Chinese calligraphy. So, Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (consider) as the greatest calligraphers in Chinese history.

 Where there is Chinese language, there is Chinese calligraphy, and where there is calligraphy, there is beauty. The artistry (技艺) is still {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (value) today, for it is more than just writing, it is living wealth.
