Pictographic Chinese Calligraphy (53) Stride into 2021 - 走进2021

 


In the top line, from left to right

Big (big seal script): a person open his arms and legs to make bigger.



Step (bronze script): two footprints - walking forward


Walk (big seal script): the top is a person who swings arms and walks forward, the bottom is a foot.



Forward (big seal script): the top left is Road or Street, the right one

is a bird. The bottom one is Foot. Ancient Chinese found that bird only walks forward, never walks backward. 

So we have "Big Step Walk Forward into 2021".
