Xi'an, as the ancient capital of 13 Chinese dynasties, has always enjoyed the reputation of "hometown of calligraphy art". The Forest of Steles in Xi'an is not only a collecting place of ancient calligraphy treasures, but also the source and base of Chinese calligraphy art. Xi'an is a blessed place for speaking and learning calligraphy. Calligraphy grew along with Chinese characters. From the depicting symbols on the primitive painted pottery of Yangshao culture in Banpo of Xi'an to the inscriptions on tortoise shells of Shang Dynasty, begins the artistic beauty of calligraphy.
