Features: Ancient Chinese theories on calligraphy have always emphasized figurative thinking, preferring to use imagery close to nature to describe and critique calligraphic works. Compared to Western art theory, it may appear less rigorous and systematic. However, this is precisely its advantage, as it breaks through dogmatism, allowing for a more thorough and tolerant discussion of issues, fully reflecting the holistic concept emphasized in Chinese philosophy. Those seemingly scattered and disorganized remarks actually carry profound aesthetic significance. The Theoretical System of Chinese Calligraphy organizes and studies calligraphic theories from before the Qing Dynasty within the framework of philosophy and history, systematically exploring their deep aesthetic values. It has made significant contributions to the construction of the Chinese aesthetic system.
