Calligraphy works featuring the ancient Chinese writing style known as Mawangdui, which disappeared for more than 2,000 years, will appear at the First International Cultural Industry Fair (ICIF) to be held from Nov.18 through 22.
Mawangdui calligraphy, an overlooked link between zhuanshu (seal script) and lishu (clerical script) in Chinese calligraphy, was discovered and devised by a Chinese scholar named Wu Wei based on his research of boshu, a kind of writing on silk, found in the Mawangdui Tomb of the Han Dynasty in Changsha, Hunan Province in 1972. Wu has spent nearly 20 years studying the calligraphy. He moved to Shenzhen in 1990 and has been living here ever since. Wu is known as the "first man in Mawangdui calligraphy" for his productive work. Wu's research has won recognition at home and abroad.
The calligraphy works to be exhibited at the ICIF are based on 5,000-odd characters revived by Wu from the original 1,200-odd characters on boshu in the Mawangdui Tomb.
