Chinese script is not supported by the handwritten generative model. I'll add a more explicit explanation in the README.

@Belval Do you have any Suggestions on how to generate handwritten Chinese character data?Now I want to imitate your method to make a handwritten Chinese data set, but I don't have a good idea. I hope to get your help.

It's surprisingly hard to imitate because the original dataset dates from 2012 and used a method that isn't really common nowadays. I would look into GAN-based character generation like ScrabbleGAN but even then I don't know of any open Chinese handwritten character dataset that could be used to train a model.
