"千字文" by Xingsi Zhou is a Chinese poem composed in the sixth century. It contains exactly one thousand unique characters arranged into memorable four-character lines that rhyme. Created to teach children Chinese literacy, it became one of the most widely read texts in China's first millennium. Each character appears only once, making it a masterpiece of linguistic craftsmanship and a favored text for calligraphers across East Asia for over a millennium.
