There are many calligraphy works of this kind of miscellaneous knowledge, just a summary, as listed above. Ancient calligraphy classics, in addition to the above-mentioned various titles, there are also a large number of works that are being studied and sorted out. They constitute a huge ideological system of Chinese calligraphy theory.What is mentioned here is enough to show the breadth and depth of the cultural field of calligraphy art in our country.

As a science, in addition to its own history and theory, there are also some disciplines, such as epigraphy, paleography, rubbing identification, etc., which are also closely related to calligraphy, so it is necessary to get involved when studying this science.Epigraphy and inscription identification are part of archaeology. The former mainly studies the "gold" (referring to the genus of Zhongding and Yi ware) and "stone" (referring to stone inscriptions such as soil steles) in ancient cultural relics, and examines the sources, expository texts, Explanation of historical facts also involves calligraphy; the latter is a comprehensive study from the era, artistic style, seal, paper quality, ancient descriptions, etc., to identify and discriminate the authenticity, source, and value of surviving inscriptions.Paleography examines the development of ancient characters, researches and interprets the shape, meaning and evolution of ancient characters. Since calligraphy is based on Chinese characters, palaeography should also be a discipline that must be studied by those who study calligraphy.

Looking further, the art of calligraphy is rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese traditional culture, and many of its principles are closely related to other disciplines of "Guoxue".Especially ancient literature, history, and philosophy, which are the cultural basis for the birth, development, and growth of Chinese calligraphy.Scholars in ancient times often integrated literature, history, and philosophy into one furnace; many great calligraphers in ancient times were proficient in classics and history, and were also good at Ci. Di Dai], so their calligraphy works exude a strong traditional cultural atmosphere in both content and form.The tradition of "cultivating calligraphy with learning" in Chinese calligraphy requires calligraphers to trek on the road of learning and research, constantly improve their knowledge and realm, and finally master the road.Therefore, although calligraphy is listed as "elementary school" in the ancient subject classification, it is really as deep as the sea and boundless.
