Features: The calligraphy envelope grid, researched and invented by the young calligrapher Mr. Zhang Kai, provides a rational framework for the (emotional) art of calligraphy. It is an iconic and complementary representation of calligraphy structure theory, breaking through and developing various calligraphy grid systems. It achieves the purpose of embodying the essence of calligraphy while revealing its secrets, making many structural principles clearly visible and exposing more calligraphy mysteries to the world. Compared to historical calligraphy structure theories, the calligraphy envelope network is more intuitive and scientific. Previous theories could only provide qualitative descriptions, whereas this grid enables quantitative definitions of Chinese characters, essentially establishing a coordinate system for them, serving as the skeleton of calligraphy's two-dimensional composition. Due to its intuitiveness, comprehensiveness, scientificity, and applicability, it possesses strong operability, playing a significant guiding role in calligraphy research, teaching, and practice.
