I don't know if any other countries' people care about handwriting.In China,there was a said "a man's heart is like his/her handwriting",this sentence surely cant be absolute,but shows the importance that the handwriting to Chinese people.writing beautiful Chinese characters is not only the basic condition to be an official.more and more people use computers to write things instead of pens,but Chinese people didn't change this opinion.Even if much less people can write beautiful Chinese characters than before,people respect the one who can write beautiful Chinese characters more.But Chinese handwriting gradually becomes an art but not a life skill,that is not I want to see.I hope Chinese handwriting could be protected and inherited,I think that's the most important part of Chinese culture ,not one of the most.
