## What is Guzili?

Ever stood in front of a stone stele, a temple plaque or a calligraphy scroll and wondered what it says? Guzili turns ancient Chinese characters into a game you can actually win.

Take a photo or upload an image. Guzili reads the characters in calligraphy on stele rubbings, couplets and plaques, and shows you the modern characters. Every scan is the start of a lesson.

READ CALLIGRAPHY FROM A PHOTO
• Recognize characters in stele rubbings, couplets and plaques
• Whole-piece recognition, not just one character at a time
• Tap any result to see how the character evolved and where it came from

AI APPRECIATION
• AI explains a character's structure, brushwork and cultural background, so you understand the beauty behind it, not just how to read it

TRACE A CHARACTER THROUGH TIME
• Start from a modern character and explore its ancient forms
• Compare how different master calligraphers and famous steles wrote it
• Create your own character-evolution poster with AI calligraphy art

LEARN LIKE A GAME
• Fun quizzes, character challenges and learning tasks
• Head-to-head PK battles against real players
• Leaderboards for learning, challenges and PK results
• Add recognized characters to a study set with one tap
• Learning mode to understand each shape, writing mode to practice as you look
• Practice in order, or shuffle for review
• Track your study time and watch your progress add up

PRACTICE LIKE A CALLIGRAPHER
• HD stele and copybook library: zoom in on every stroke, like a slow walk through a museum
• Copy masterworks stroke by stroke with tracing practice
• Cut a full page into single characters to save and study
• One-tap character collection: gather characters from famous works into your own piece, with free layout, printable practice sheets and missing-character fill
• Save characters you want to review to your personal list

COMMUNITY
• A friendly corner to share your practice and discoveries with people who love calligraphy and ancient Chinese characters

GREAT FOR
• Anyone learning Chinese or curious about hanzi
• Japanese learners and kanji fans: kanji grew from these same characters
• Calligraphy lovers, museum-goers and history fans

Available in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Free to download.
