Towards Chinese Calligraphy Qian Zhuzhong and Fang Desheng I. History of Chinese Calligraphy: A Brief Overview Chinese calligraphy, like script itself, began with hieroglyphs and, over time, has developed various styles and schools, constituting an important part of the national cultural heritage. Chinese scripts are generally divided into five categories: Seal script, Clerical (or Official) script, Regular script, Running script, and Cursive script. What follows is a brief introduction of the evolution of Chinese calligraphy. A. From Prehistory to Xia Dynasty (ca. 16 century B.C.) The art of calligraphy began with the creation of Chinese characters. Without modern technology in ancient times, “Sound couldn’t travel to another place and couldn’t remain, so writings came into being to act as the track of meaning and sound.”1 However, instead of characters, the first calligraphy works were picture-like symbols. These symbols first appeared on ceramic vessels and only showed ambiguous con- cepts without clear meanings.

In particular, these are the legal regulation of the fight against corruption, and the introduction of the EU-recommended amendments to Ukraine’s laws in the field of personal data protection and combating discrimination,” Mr. Rybak stated at a meeting of the Interparliamentary Assembly of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Seimas of Lithuania, the Sejm and Senate of Poland in Warsaw on 26 March. Mr. Rybak said the Verkhovna Rada has already adopted most of the laws that are needed to implement the first stage of the action plan on the liberalization of the EU visa regime with Ukraine. In particular, the Parliament passed the laws dealing with the issues related to migration, a resolution to introduce biometric travel documents. Besides, a system of personal data protection was created in Ukraine. According to the Ukrainian Parliament’s Chair, Ukraine plans to submit to the European side soon its third report on the implementation of the first stage of the visa liberalization action plan, which would give the EU grounds to switch to the second stage.

    Pageflex Character EntitiesA A list of all special character entities recognized by Pageflex products n 1 Pageflex Character Entities The NuDoc composition engine inside Pageflex applications recognizes many special entities beginning with the “&” symbol and end with the “;” symbol. Each represents a particular Unicode character in XML content. For information on entity definitions, look up their Unicode identifiers in The Unicode Standard book. This appendix contains two tables: the first lists character entities by name, the second by Unicode identifier. Character Entities by Entity Name This section lists character entities by entity name. You must precede the entity name by “&” and follow it by “;” for NuDoc to recognize the name (e.g., “á”). Note: Space and break characters do not have visible entity symbols. The entity symbol column for these characters is purposely blank.

  • Dictionaries Were, However, Better – and Were Relentlessly Promoted in Canada’S Middlebrow Media by Their Editor, the Jolly Mediævalist Katherine Barber
    The right reason to write a book Anger. Or is that the wrong reason? Either way, it is what drove me to write Organizing Our Marvellous Neighbours. But let me start out with a bit of personal history. I was always a good speller. On the only occasion I lost a spelling bee in grade school, the word that did me in was beau, ironically enough. One year, we had a weekly writing lesson in which I sat at the front of the class spelling words on demand for my fellow students. Thirty years have passed, but I still notice spelling. I notice spelling mistakes. Those aren’t always important (perfect spelling in your chat window does not make your instant messages perfect), but spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, and the like will jump right out at me. They’re often the first thing I notice when I look at a page – a phenomenon that carried through to the publication of my first book, where I noticed the mistakes before anything else. But I’ve noticed other things beyond misspellings. I noticed across-the- board American spellings in Canadian publications – and, much more often, all- British spellings. I noticed those things, but that’s all I did. The year 2002 would be a turning point. I’d been watching TV captioning for 30 years, but it was in 2002 that CBC agreed to closed-caption 100% of its programming on two networks, CBC Television and Newsworld. That came about as the result of a human-rights complaint that CBC had lost.
