"From Bones to Bytes: Chinese Script Decoded" exhibition will run from tomorrow (October 25) until January 8, 2007, at the Hong Kong Museum of History. Featuring more than 70 exhibits in collaboration with text, photos, films and interactive programmes, the exhibition explores the origins, development and contribution of Chinese script. It also introduces the art of writing Chinese scripts and examines its role in the information age. Pictured is one of the exhibits - the copier figures in Jin Dynasty (A.D. 265 - 420). The figures seated opposite each other, one reading the letters, the other looking on ready to make corrections with a pen when needed.
