Manchu calligraphy is built around a vertically connected alphabet with its own proportions, joining logic, dots and circles, and historical manuscript traditions. Brush practice may share tools with Chinese calligraphy, but the internal structure is different. Contemporary work can also explore Manchu–Chinese combined calligraphy and Manchu seal-script-inspired forms when historical and artistic transformation are clearly distinguished.
