April 20 is UN Chinese Language Day, spotlighting the beauty of Chinese with over 50,000 characters.
For Rachel Weiss, an American living in the Chinese mainland, her favorite is 山 (shān)—the character for "mountain." Inspired by China’s breathtaking peaks and its frequent appearance in traditional art, 山 captures both nature’s grandeur and the art of brushstroke.
Each Chinese character is a fusion of meaning and design. From simple symbols to intricate forms, these characters link millions of people across generations and borders.
