الخط الصيني: يُعد الخط هو جوهر الثقافة الصينية. فقد كانت الحركات التي قام بها الإنسان الشرقي القديم عند نقشه الرموز المجردة الأولية على جدران الكهوف أو عظام الحيوانات هي الحركات الرمزية التي أشارت إلى الخط الصيني الذي عُرف بتشاو شينغ والحضارة الصينية التي عُرفت بالاسم ذاته، كما أشارت إلى التاريخ الطويل الذي شهده الخط الصيني تشاو شينغ.
