There are a myriad number of groups of people that have come together over the ages, whether in families, clans, tribes, cities, states or nations, for a common cause, a common tongue, or a common land. Even as the seasons cycle, these groups formed and dissolved in the boundless span of time; and while some were transient, China has remained, and it stands as one of the oldest and most distinguished nations on the planet. Today, China boasts the largest national population in the world, with over 1.3 billion inhabitants—and it is currently ranked the fourth largest country in terms of total land area. Naturally then, a country so large is bound to have branches that extend throughout the lineage of mankind, from East to West.
The Chinese also have one of the oldest forms of writing, known as calligraphy. This system comprises a complex series of lines, dots and characters that make up the Chinese alphabet. This pictographic language also employs compound character forms that signify entire words, phrases, and concepts.
