Chinese Calligraphy (Ideographic Writing)
Ideograms or in this case ideographic writing are basically pictures/symbols that represent ideas/concepts, much like a Pictogram but far less obvious and far more abstract.
possibly the most famous form of Calligraphy but you may not realize is that the Chinese symbols not only look beautifully artistic but are also ideograms. most of them describe something with rudimentary shape of the subject developed into the symbol itself, giving the letter/symbols more meaning, for example the symbol for human resembles legs so as well as meaning human it also looks like one to.
