When did calligraphy originate? This question probably interests everyone
who wishes to study calligraphy. No precise date is given in ancient Chinese
history. Legend says that during the reign of the Yellow Emperor a man named
Cang Jie invented the Chinese language. Calligraphy came after invention of
the language. We may attribute- the invention to 4,600 years ago, but this
is only a legendary tale and may not be credible. What is interesting, however,
is that archaeological discoveries since the birth of new China have authenticated
that 4,500 years ago language came into existence in China. It follows that
calligraphy entered an embryonic stage then.
