Hey, and once again it's Zoey. I'm back for, 
what do you know? Extra Credit! We're trying to get as many travel points as we can to make our journey through the last leg of the race. Today, you're gonna hear about Chinese Calligraphy. Calligraphy means "good writing". It's a form of a written language, but is considered more of an art. People who can produce calligraphy, called calligrapher, are highly valued people in China. There are a few different kinds of calligraphy. There's seal, official or clerical, regular, running of semi-cursive, and cursive. There are seven standard strokes, but many calligraphers belive there are possible up to 32! That's a lot! Multiple tools are used to create calligraphy, first of all, paper, and then ink. An inkstone is needed to grind the ink with water, so it can be painted on to the paper. Finally, and brush is used. The brush is generally made from animal hair tied on to the end of a bamboo reed. Chinese calligraphy has been a long time art, and is still used throughout China today!
