我们注意到中国文字的笔画线条要适当和相称地排列，令人感到均衡、相称和协调。
中国文字能成为中国书法完美的第一形式的另一个原因是：同一个字可以不同形式写出。这就使书法家在书写书法笔画时抒发性情有很大的灵活性。
一般而言，中国文字有以下五种书写形式：
篆书：这是完成于秦朝（公元前221-207）的第一种标准文字。这种文字形式线条对称，可是没有后来字体的那种方棱。这种字体在漫长时间考验中保留下来，至今还用于书法与篆刻。
隶书：这种字体初为政府官员所用。大概公元前500年隶书就出现了。由于需要一种快速与有效的文字来处理国务，隶书在秦汉两代被普遍使用。和篆书明显不同的是，隶书的笔画较少，更流畅，所以较容易适用于毛笔与一般的笔。可以说，中国文字系统到了隶书已经成熟。
楷书：和隶书相当相像，只是笔画较曲圆，笔画脚或尾有钩。楷书出现于汉末。
行书：可以被看成是较潦草的楷书。几划时常简化为一划，特别是连续的点划或两条垂线。行书也是在汉末出现。
草书：这是最潦草取得字体。它出现于秦朝。它的形状与隶书与楷书完全不同，很多笔画会简化为一或完全不写。

We noted that the strokes and lines of the Chinese characters must be suitably and proportionately arranged so as to give one a sense of good balance, fine proportion and harmony.
There is another reason that makes Chinese characters a perfect first form of Chinese Calligraphy, i.e. the same character can be written in many forms. This provides calligraphers a high degree of flexibility to express their feelings when executing the calligraphic strokes and lines.
Generally, the Chinese characters can be written in the following five forms:
Zhuanshu or Seal Script: This is the first standardised script that was finalised during the Qin (221 to 207 BC). This form of characters are more symmetrically linear, but have not attained the ‘angular’ look of later Chinese scripts. This script has survived the passage of time and continues to be used in the present age in calligraphy and seals.
Lishu or Clerical (official) Script: As its name implies, this script was used by government bureaucrats. While it probably appeared at approximately 500 BCE, Lishu became widely used in the Qin and Han (206 BC to 220 AD) dyansties when the bureaucrats needed a fast and efficient script to handle state matters. The marked difference between this script and the Zhuanshu is that Lishu characters have less strokes and a more flowing style, therefore easily adaptable to brushes and pens. It can be said that Chinese writing reached its maturity at this time.
Kaishu or Standard Script: It is very similar to Lishu, but slightly more cursive and contains serif-like (hook or anchor-like) elements at the corners and end of strokes. Kaishu appeared toward the end of the Han dynasty (220 AD).
Xingshu or Walking Script: It can be considered a cursive version of Kaishu. Often several strokes are merged into one, especially sequential dots or two strokes perpendicular to each other. It also appeared shortly after the Han dynasty.
Caoshu or Running (Cursive) Script: It is the most cursive Chinese script. It appeared during the Qin dynasty. The shape of its characters often do not resemble the corresponding Lishu or Kaishu character, in that some strokes are merged into one and others are simply left out.
