I also did some research on Chinese handwriting, like why did we change from right to left to left to right, and why did we change from vertical writing style to horizontal style. And that&#8217;s where I realize how technologies (for example, from the bamboo scroll to paper) in the history shift the way we read and write.\u00a0<\/p><p>Though I type more than I write because of work, I do like the feeling of writing. When I was in school, almost everything has to be hand written, all the notes and all the tests. Right now, I prefer writing when I need to map out my thoughts, and writing is very calming for me without doing it for a test.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0b77af6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0b77af6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-834a251\" data-id=\"834a251\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a371f27 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a371f27\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I took a while to decide what I want to do, because I really wanted to try the potato stamp just because I haven&#8217;t tried anything like that. However, I also think it is a really good time to practice my Chinese hand writing again. It is a very different process when thinking and writing in English than thinking and writing in Chinese. When actually writing Chinese characters I have to focus on the strokes and the overall form of these characters. However, with a somewhat phonological language like English, you can kind of follow the pronunciation and figure out the spelling. But Chinese characters can&#8217;t. The strokes do not follow any phonetic rules. However, most of the time it does offer more leeway to fix the mistake when making a mistake when writing.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Nowadays, I prefer to use iPad and Apple pencil to take note because I can use the search function and locate exactly what I want in a more speedy manner. However, I chose to do this assignment on with real pen and paper because I wanted to know how many characters I couldn&#8217;t remember how to write and how would I do when knowing I couldn&#8217;t just use the eraser function on a note-taking software or rely on the computer to pick the correct character for me. So I wrote with more carefulness so that I won&#8217; t need to cross anything, but I did cross one that was completely the wrong character that I didn&#8217;t want. It turns out I that only couldn&#8217;t remember 3 characters.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Typing is usually easier for others read and I don&#8217;t have to preplan the formatting of it because on the computer the formatting is easier to fix and play with after. Less thought need to be put into accuracy as the softwares will help me to fix mistakes as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6d28394 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6d28394\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7944b9e\" data-id=\"7944b9e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bc344c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3bc344c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>Meanwhile, to me, handwriting is more personal and shows personality. Chinese characters are not easy to practice, and even harder if you want your calligraphy to be considered pretty. If a person&#8217;s handwriting can be considered pretty, then it is save to say that they have put a lot of work in practicing and that requires a lot of patience.\u00a0<br \/>However, handwriting are difficult to fix when making mistakes and in formatting. Also, it is not good for information search.\u00a0<\/div><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Depending on the task I am doing, will make the decision of whether I type or write. If I am doing something personal that I don&#8217;t expect others to see, like a journal, I will usually do this by hand. If it&#8217;s a task that is for other people then I will usually type. I also find that when I have writers block or a complex thinking task that I am stuck on, it often helps me to remove the technology element and go back to by hand and it often spurs my problem solving for a task that I have been struggling with on the computer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-29a97a7\" data-id=\"29a97a7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d2868f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3d2868f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"905\" src=\"https:\/\/met.for.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/WechatIMG528-724x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-185\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/met.for.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/WechatIMG528-724x1024.jpeg 724w, https:\/\/met.for.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/WechatIMG528-212x300.jpeg 212w, https:\/\/met.for.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/WechatIMG528-768x1086.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/met.for.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/WechatIMG528-1086x1536.jpeg 1086w, https:\/\/met.for.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/WechatIMG528-1448x2048.jpeg 1448w, https:\/\/met.for.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/WechatIMG528-300x424.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/met.for.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/WechatIMG528-850x1202.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/met.for.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/WechatIMG528-scaled.jpeg 1810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15423d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"15423d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote a story about the 3 cats in my family; about how they came to this family and the origins of their names.\u00a0 I like this task, I think it is a fun task and offers me a chance to reflect on writing itself and the differences when writing in different languages.
