Quanshan bird and flower calligraphy is a traditional art project in the third batch of representative projects of Xuzhou's municipal intangible cultural heritage. Historical evolution and distribution: According to experts, bird and flower calligraphy evolved from bird writing created by the Song and Wu states in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which used birds as totems. The ancestors of Xuzhou once lived in Yuandun, Taoshanji and many Phoenix Mountains at the foot of Yunlong Mountain in the Quanshan area. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they used branches, knives, cones and paint brushes to carve strange birds (totems) to decorate characters and created bird writing. Quanshan bird and flower calligraphy evolved from the Phoenix bird writing created by the ancestors of Xuzhou, and has strong vitality, radiation and influence.
