AIEL team is a a brunch of travel lovers. While we travel we gather knowledge and make friends all around the universe. We explore native cultures and we share all these around the world.

Our very first discovery is Chinese Calligraphy art.

In China, calligraphy is referred to as Shūfǎ (書法/书法), literally: "the way/method/law of writing"; Shodō (書道/书道) in Japan (literally: "the way/principle of writing"); and Seoye (서예; 書藝) in Korea (literally: "the skill/criterion of writing").

Chinese calligraphy is normally regarded as one of the "arts" (Chinese 藝術/艺术 pinyin: yìshù) in the countries where it is practised. Chinese calligraphy focuses not only on methods of writing but also on cultivating one's character (人品) and taught as a pursuit (－書法; pinyin: shūfǎ, "the rules of writing Han characters").

Calligraphy is also considered an art (藝術/艺术; pinyin: yìshù, a relatively recent word meaning "art") where works are appreciated more or only for their aesthetic qualities.
