Can someone please explain why every doesnt work here -

Chinese, consists of thousands of characters, every character is a miniature calligraphic composition inside their own frame. WRONG

Chinese, consists of thousands of characters, each character is a miniature calligraphic compositiion inside its own frame. RIGHT

I thought that since we are talking about all the characters in the Chinese alphabet every should be more appropriate...
