The Unique Features of Chinese Arabic Calligraphy
By: F.K. Art Intern Nimah Bhura
Whenever you think of absolute brilliance and discipline China instantly comes to mind. China is known for producing exceptional leaders, artists, engineers, etc. Chinese people have an uncommon discipline that is displayed in their work. In particular, the Arabic calligraphy produced by Chinese calligraphers, such as Haji Noor Deen, exhibits extreme talent and beautiful flow.
The script commonly used to describe the calligraphy produced from China is called the Sini script. The Sini script is traditionally quite thick and rounded. It is similar to a regular Chinese script in the way that it flows on the page. Today, the script is used when making tasmiya placards in eastern China. The Sini script was adapted from other Chinese calligraphic forms and is unique in that it is written with a brush to achieve its thick and tapered look.
