Celebrating characters

China's traditional writing system can be better understood by visiting an ongoing exhibition at the National Museum of Classic Books. Wang Kaihao reports.

China's traditional writing system has always generated interest not just among scholars from around the world but also the general public back home and expats in the country.

For those who are keen to have a glimpse of Chinese characters and their evolution, a newly opened exhibition at Beijing's National Museum of Classic Books may just be the right avenue.
