Nowadays, some calligraphers (书法家) are marrying modern technology with ancient writing art to let young people love it. 

Chang Binghuang is a teacher of Chinese language at Tamkang University. He found that his students liked to spend much more time on computers and phones than writing on paper, and even less time on calligraphy. 

"It was quite a blow to me, " said Chang. "And I started to think about how to use technology to get young people interested in calligraphy. " So Chang created a system called "e-pen". However, this system was not perfect first. The writers had to watch the screen instead of the hands. It did not feel like writing calligraphy. 

Then, thanks to the tablet computer, a new "e-pen" was-born. People can now look at the screen and their hands at the same time. The new "e-pen" app became popular quickly. "The c-pen app is for anyone with an interest in learning Chinese characters, " said Chang. So people who have little interest or are not that willing to learn will be able to take the first step into the world of calligraphy. For instance, young students can now practice writing characters like "love" and "peace" with a digital brush. 

To keep the tradition alive, Chang hopes more young people will learn more about calligraphy with the help of new technology. With technology, the art of calligraphy is set to grow stronger in a new digital age.
