These three points had a significant positive impact on the contemporary development of the Qing Dynasty's Hunan calligraphy studies for modern education. The results of these analyses show that the calligraphy education model in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty was effectively inherited and developed. Further details are explained and presented in the next section. 2. Literature Review Many calligraphers in the 20th century taught in art colleges, such as Yan Wenliang, Feng Zikai, Pan Tianshou, etc. Lu Yifei, Wu Hufan, Ma Apartment, Zheng Manqing, Ma Mengrong, and others are all painting and calligraphy. In the early days of the Republic of China, students of the Department of Fine Arts realized the influence of calligraphy on painting. In The Rules of Learning (1928) of the Faculty of Arts, Peking University. All courses of painting and architecture students involved calligraphy [1]. Cultivating paintings during the Republic of China period, calligraphy is therefore a basic and important course. The foundations of the relevant disciplines of the calligraphy major are aesthetics, history, philosophy, philosophy, (Cao Jian, Xu Haidong, and Zhang Yunji, "The Study of Calligraphy and the Evolution of Calligraphy Forms in the 20th Century", 2012, p261) Yang Jiashen conducted research on calligraphy during the Northern Song Dynasty in 2017. Calligraphy can cultivate artistic abilities and improve aesthetics. Although the study of calligraphy has a relatively narrow meaning, it is a prominent educational activity. These activities were applied to special calligraphy schools. Special calligraphy is a lifelong educational behavior that includes all forms of calligraphy education, all of which have a vast meaning. However, Chinese citizens are aware of the importance of education in the study of ancient Chinese calligraphy [2]–[3]. Calligraphy education not only provides a broad perspective but also includes education in family education schools. Apprentice Education Communication, Calligraphy, Social Studies and Self-Education. Calligraphy is not limited to simple writing skills, but involves calligraphy as well as special education in the art of calligraphy and the study of elementary writing from the beginning to the end of an artistic life [4]. At present, some scholars explain and comment that the process of studying calligraphy often changes with time. Therefore, nowadays, the study of Chinese calligraphy is classified according to the historical and cultural background, the use of words and forms of calligraphy education, such as "Liu Jia" (tortoise shell). The bones of the prophecies from the Yin and Shang dynasties are the oldest historical materials for ancient Chinese writing. Similarly, it is also a model of immense value and contains the oldest content for the study of Chinese calligraphy. The analysis also found that the study of calligraphy during the Qin Dynasty was often related only to practical and writing skills. However, the calligraphy 5263 Edelweiss Applied Science and Technology ISSN: 2576-8484 Vol. 8, No. 6: 5261-5279, 2024 DOI: 10.55214/25768484.v8i6.3159 © 2024 by the authors; licensee Learning Gate of the Han Dynasty shows that it was a period of study of ancient Chinese calligraphy that used government schools as the main model of the era [5]-[7]. In the era of the Sui Dynasty, the study of calligraphy was encapsulated and applied to formal higher education [8]. Later, calligraphy was introduced during the Tang Dynasty by studying practical writing. Simultaneously, the Song Dynasty continued to play a role in inheriting the art of calligraphy [9]. The Yuan Dynasty was a period when revivalism and private education flourished, and the study of calligraphy art flourished over times [10]. Similarly, the Ming and Qing dynasties had a policy of merging government schools, academies, and imperial examinations [11]. During the Qing Dynasty, the study of calligraphy developed in a diverse and standardized manner [12]. However, different historical periods are the result of different national policies of the era, so learning calligraphy has long been of ongoing importance. From the above. The Chinese calligraphy education model of the Qing Dynasty has a long history of calligraphy development. This study of calligraphy aims to realize the discipline of work. However, the current study on contemporary Chinese calligraphy has influenced the concept and style of education. Therefore, the study of Chinese calligraphy began with a new style of writing Chinese characters. Although the evolution of the font and art form of calligraphy is changing, it is rooted in the basic concepts of calligraphy education and the traditional beginning. Therefore, it can be inferred that the study of calligraphy can be divided according to the evolution and writing provider. In addition, the cultural form and use of the alphabet determine the form of the calligraphy. However, the style of calligraphy education during the Qing Dynasty often differed from that of other eras. [13]–[15]. The study of calligraphy is the main way in which ancient Chinese writers cultivated morality for generations. Ancient Chinese academic studies are a unique form of study that took place in the People's Republic of China. A detailed study of calligraphy is essential. These details give rise to the concepts of respect and attitude towards writing and social acceptance. This study found that before the Tang Dynasty, the study of calligraphy by ancient educational institutions was not a major issue. However, the key point is that most people think of calligraphy as writing that requires the skills necessary for self-learning and inheritance. During the Song Dynasty, calligraphy educational institutions were equivalent to schools. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, academies trained talented people. Writing is a fundamental skill in calligraphy and has earned fame. In addition to the imperial examination, the content and method of the study were derived from calligraphy. Similarly, the study of calligraphy represents the traditional artistic characteristics of the Chinese nation. The development of calligraphy is based on a stance derived from the concept of Confucius, which reflects Chinese national wisdom. Calligraphy preserves this heritage. In the modern era, little attention has been paid to the rigor of this form of calligraphy. Therefore, it is worth paying more attention to the possibility of reflecting the ideas of calligrapher [16]. Calligraphy research is a concept of academic importance and a modern discipline. This is generally carried out within the framework of pedagogical theory and educational philosophy. This integration of calligraphy is considered the preservation, inheritance, and preservation of ancient Chinese culture in the past. This expresses the true value of the Chinese calligraphy. However, research has also shown that Chinese characters were inscribed on the bones of the prophecy, which occurred during the Shang Dynasty. 5264 Edelweiss Applied Science and Technology ISSN: 2576-8484 Vol. 8, No. 6: 5261-5279, 2024 DOI: 10.55214/25768484.v8i6.3159 © 2024 by the authors; licensee Learning Gate Figure 1. Sha Menghai performing calligraphy skills at a banquet Source: (https://inf.news/en/culture/fcb807b98279ab326c8c0e5d44ae7c90.html). Figure 1. (a) and (b) is Sha Menghai has experienced the development of modern calligraphy since the Republic of China and is known as "the first book in China, Shaweng first.” In 1987, Chinese and Japanese calligraphers attended the Lanting Qushui Party, and the three in the center of the pictwere were Sha Menghai. However, a calligraphy education model adapted to the development of the times is key to determining the inheritance and development of calligraphy culture at all levels of education. In general, there are three principles for the study of calligraphy depth [17]. Most forms of primary education are advanced. It has a question-and-answer model that must be developed into a teaching model using a self-study model. It is then adopted as a collaborative model and a research model using the principle of model integration. Studies in various formats need to be coordinated naturally to create an effective overall functional structure. Figure 2 Process and method of analyzing the educational model of calligraphy in Hunan This form of education is analyzed and studied under pedagogical theory and educational philosophy. However, calligraphy is a new discipline pursued by modern scholars. This includes all the aspects related to calligraphy research. Therefore, different calligraphy frameworks exist based on the changing context. Current research has proposed a framework consisting of three forms: parallel knowledge content, logical perspective, parallel calligraphy, and calligraphy learning [18]–[19]. 5265 Edelweiss Applied Science and Technology ISSN: 2576-8484 Vol. 8, No. 6: 5261-5279, 2024 DOI: 10.55214/25768484.v8i6.3159 © 2024 by the authors; licensee Learning Gate Figure 2. Study models of calligraphy. The study of calligraphy is mainly conducted in universities that are responsible for the study of calligraphy. Therefore, the imbalance between theory and practice, as well as other factors of calligraphy education, does not consider the difference between the study of basic abilities and the training of artistic abilities [20]. Thus, the creation of a curriculum for calligraphy education in contemporary colleges has not improved in terms of being truly disciplined and standardized [21]. Therefore, learners are unable to fully understand the processes and methods of calligraphy. Therefore, learners tend to focus on practical skills that are not obvious, in addition to self-study. These circumstances affect students’ teaching at the postgraduate level. This shows relatively little knowledge and a learning method with low difficulty in practicing calligraphy [22]. Therefore, homogenization and formalization have limitations in creating distinctive calligraphy art [23]. However, the application of ancient calligraphy education experience in modern calligraphy classrooms has encountered difficulties in establishing a discipline for calligraphy [24]. Therefore, this study focuses on the question of how to make a major in calligraphy stand out. As well as conducting a survey of calligraphy education models in the area of research is in Hunan Province. To be used as an adjunct to the academic study of contemporary calligraphy. Effectively integrating the concept of calligraphy education in the Qing Dynasty era with modern educational concepts. This has led to innovation and development in the study of contemporary calligraphy. 3.

Part 4: Summarizing/Compiling Data Analysis. 4.1. Study and analyze the characteristics of calligraphy patterns in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty This study analyzed the characteristics of calligraphy styles in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty. It summarizes the types and influences of calligraphy educational styles in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty, as defined in Objective 1. According to this study, the influence of calligraphy in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty had a history of Chinese calligraphy that began in the Tang Dynasty. Calligraphers such as Ouyang Xun, Ouyang Tong and Huaisu are all from Hunan Liu Gang, which is recorded in the comprehensive volume (IV) of "Selected Calligraphy of the Hunan and Xiang Dynasties" (2012.1-2)”. Hunan, located in the middle and south of Kyushu, has a rich history. It was once the birthplace of Shu culture. The magical and romantic Chu culture has given its essence and charm to the art of Hunan calligraphy. Hunan is also an important location for the discovery of calligraphy relics, such as Liye Qin Bamboo Slips, Mawangdui Silk Books, and Zoumalou Wu Bamboo Slips. However, since the Qing Dynasty, Calligraphy in Hunan has been academically controversial and has reached a new height with the development of new Confucianism in Hunan. These data reflect the style of Hunan calligraphy art over the past 3000 years. The style of calligraphy in Hunan has important characteristics and aesthetic trends, similar to those of Hunan calligraphers. It can be concluded that it is a unique "Hunan-style calligraphy.” This had a profound impact on calligraphy innovation and theoretical changes during the late Qing Dynasty. This is directly related to the concept of "practical application" and "unity of form and function" of Hunan calligraphers and the change in the form of calligraphy education (Luo Hongsheng, 2021.124) (Liu Gang. 2012.4). Analysis of the Characteristics of Calligraphy in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty. According to Volume 4 of the Selected Calligraphy of Hunan and History of Calligraphy of the Qing Dynasty. This was an important time and turning point for the development of Chinese calligraphy, especially in Hunan, which is located in the southern part of Dongting Lake. Changes in the concept of calligraphy education and educational style had a profound positive impact on the development of calligraphy at that time. Over the past 20 years, there has been continuous improvement in the creation of the calligraphy education discipline. The calligraphy theory research field has expanded continuously. This has been especially true since the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. Promoting the development of high-quality literary and artistic works and creating a form of calligraphy education have been adapted to the new era in both theory and practice. Many domestic scholars are focusing on educational models driven by the concept of calligraphy education. This can be summarized as follows: In the view of inscriptions, Shaoji, Qi Baishi, and others have broken through the perspective of inscriptions and calligraphy since the Qing Dynasty with a unique freehand view. (Luo Hongsheng (2021.129) used correspondence during the "Three Rivers Campaign" to focus on the academic background of the group in Hunan. Describe the characteristics of calligraphy groups and forms in Hunan from different perspectives. It is said that the trend of times is a diaronic factor that affects calligraphy. Regional culture is a synchronic factor that affects calligraphy. The author does not have complete freedom to write or create. However, it is influenced and limited by specific trends in the time and cultural environments of the region. This study is based on Volume 4 of the Hunan Calligraphy Anthology and History of Hunan Calligraphy, the works of 30 calligraphers. Most of them were born and raised in Hunan, and there are foreigners who live in Hunan or act as officials in Hunan. The analysis was carried out from three perspectives of the direction of imitation of the aesthetic principles and spiritual characteristics of calligraphy in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty. The stylistic characteristics of calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty can be summarized from three perspectives: strength and texture of the rhythm of the calligraphy, posture, structure, and overall change and effect of the composition, using visual perception theory. 5270 Edelweiss Applied Science and Technology ISSN: 2576-8484 Vol. 8, No. 6: 5261-5279, 2024 DOI: 10.55214/25768484.v8i6.3159 © 2024 by the authors; licensee Learning Gate Figure 3.

Among the 30-representative works, 80% are characterized by "ancient and varied traces,” 83.3% 86.6% have the characteristic of "following the rules, " it has the characteristics of "integration of inscriptions and calligraphy, " and " followed the Tang Dynasty and learned Yan,” 100% had the characteristics of "heavy bones and light posture,” and 90% have the characteristics of "strong and simple.” Figure 2, various topics can be explained as follows: (a) He Shaoji, "Running Script Scroll", Hunan Calligraphy Poetry (IV), page 218, (b) Zuo Zongtang, "Running Script Couplet", Hunan Script Poetry (IV), pp. 260, (c1 and c2) Shaoji's regular seven-character chorus; (d) Imitation of Yan Zhenqing's "Letter of Liu Zhongshi" by Qian Feng, (e) Xiao Jinzhong's Running Script (f) Hu Linyi's Letter to Li Shubin 1, 2, 3. https://www.hnmuseum.com/sites/default/files/statics/tezhanhuimou/2015 5271 Edelweiss Applied Science and Technology ISSN: 2576-8484 Vol. 8, No. 6: 5261-5279, 2024 DOI: 10.55214/25768484.v8i6.3159 © 2024 by the authors; licensee Learning Gate Figure 3. It can be seen that calligraphy respects the historical and cultural background of each learning stage. The works of calligraphy focus on different fonts and styles. Based on theoretical and practical surveys, the diaries and letters of calligraphers in the Hunan and Xiang regions record a joint discussion of techniques taught by ancestors. Calligraphers in the Hunan and Xiang regions adhere to the calligraphy tradition. Adhere to the rules and create their own "family rules" based on adherence to ancient methods. During the Qing Dynasty, there were inscriptions that were divided into a certain boundary between stone carving and calligraphy with destroyed ink. According to the survey, it was also found that calligraphers in this modern era prefer to use wool pens and raw rice paper to write. Using the "wrist rotation method" to hold the pen, Zeng Guofan seeks the stability of writing in a "rope-like" manner. However, it was found that a beautiful and practical perspective is created with innovative consciousness. In the Qing Dynasty, calligraphers in Hunan Province expressed contempt for "charm,” as well as classifying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and Wang Xianzhi as "charm.” The calligraphy of Zhao Mengfu and Dong Qichang in the Yuan and Ming dynasties emphasizes "attitude". They proposed an aesthetic category of "bones,” making the aesthetic transition from posture emphasis to bone emphasis complete. The core is to emphasize that the stroke is "hard" rather than "light" and to focus on the texture of the stroke and the internal strength of the bones. This results in the appearance of roughness. Confusion and style with strong bare hands and no swinging. Variety and refinement are the core aspects of aesthetics. Hunan calligraphers were inspired by cliff carving "Poems for the Restoration of the Tang Dynasty" in Taoist County. It fully inherited the calligraphy art and spirit of Yan Zhenqing. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, when the East and the West and ancient and modern times changed, the Qing Dynasty went from prosperity to decline. People yearn for culture and art to support their feelings of powerlessness. Under the social background of external and internal problems and people's livelihoods. The literature on Hunan uses calligraphy to inherit the family and country feelings of Yuan Jie and Yan Zhenqing. Hunan calligraphers have created the characteristics of the region through three learning paths: from the main line of post-learning to "post-learning respect and emphasis on stone inscriptions.” From "Follow the Tang and Learn Yan’ to consider the inscriptions of Han and Wei. From "emphasis on form" to "emphasis on bones". Although there is a tendency to share aesthetics, each job differs. Calligraphy was widely distributed in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty. The analysis shows that calligraphers represented in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty were particularly present in Eastern Hunan, Southern Hunan, Central Hunan, and Eastern and Northern Hunan. In addition, the calligraphy and educational styles in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty were also influenced by "Hunan culture.” This shows the diverse and inclusive cultural characteristics. 4.2. Examine the Current State of Calligraphy Education in Contemporary Universities Examining the current state of calligraphy education in contemporary universities. Using University Calligraphy Education Indicators. Create an analysis of the university's calligraphy professional education model that meets its objectives. 2. An Analysis of the Educational Situation of Modern and Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy from 1949 to 1979. After the founding of New China, studies on calligraphy began to develop extensively. It is also open as a free major for colleges and universities. However, the protection of cultural and artistic heritage, as well as the development of art with national characteristics, are at its best. The Academic Degree Committee of the State Council has passed a new proposal, and Chinese calligraphy and painting have become a minor discipline under fine arts education. Similarly, Huang Dun, a professor at the Nanjing University of the Arts, pointed out that students majoring in calligraphy at different universities have their own strengths and unique differences. This is because the teachers in each school have different skills and knowledge bases. Some teachers showed traditional skills in creative calligraphy, and some teachers showed a contemporary sense of creativity. However, some teachers were proficient in the literature and history. Etc. Therefore, some students have moderate creative skills because they have only basic skills. This rapid and unbalanced development is due to the imperfect design and development of doctoral and master's degree programmes, both theoretically and practically. 5272 Edelweiss Applied Science and Technology ISSN: 2576-8484 Vol. 8, No. 6: 5261-5279, 2024 DOI: 10.55214/25768484.v8i6.3159 © 2024 by the authors; licensee Learning Gate Therefore, there are differences in the level of calligraphy education at Chinese universities across the country. In addition, calligraphy is not always inherited from traditional traditions. Therefore, the way to systematically transform the artistic discipline with the traditional cultural characteristics of ancient times into modern education is to change the teaching methods and practices of professors to have a teaching method based on the current university curriculum. Therefore, it is necessary to improve old pedagogical concepts and move beyond traditional history. However, according to the survey of high- quality and effective teaching styles in universities, it has been found that the inheritance of excellent and comprehensive calligraphy traditions has become an important task of calligraphy education in universities today. The first major of calligraphy and seal engraving in the history of Chinese higher education was established by the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, the predecessor of the China Academy of Art, in 1963. It was found that calligraphy has been developing for 60 years. College calligraphy education has been affected to different degrees due to the "exhibition mechanism". In 2022, the Academic Degree Committee of the State Council of China and the Ministry of Education issued the "Catalogue of Disciplines and Disciplines for Postgraduate Education (2022)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Catalogue") and the "Administrative Measures for the Catalogue of Disciplines and Disciplines for Postgraduate Education". The new version of the catalogue officially states that "art and calligraphy" is a first-level discipline. To meet the needs of the inheritance and development of China’s traditional culture. Actively improving the professional system of arts disciplines. Calligraphy has evolved from a minor discipline to a first-level discipline. However, it is clear that the study of Chinese calligraphy has become an important part of the study of traditional Chinese culture. However, from the above state investigation, there are still problems in the development of teacher education majors in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty. Calligraphy in Hunan Province is a strong form, but faces a variety of problems. Therefore, in response to these problems, it is important to distinguish and refine the historical experience of the study of calligraphy during the Qing Dynasty. It is integrated into modern calligraphy education and proposes a model of calligraphy education that is in line with the development of times. Similarly, a questionnaire and an analysis of survey results were conducted on the current state of calligraphy education in contemporary universities in Hunan Province. Local surveys lead to a deeper understanding of qualitative methods that provide the basic information needed for a quantitative research design. It helped to construct the dimensions of the questionnaire, including independent variables (calligraphy education model in Hunan Province during the Qing Dynasty in the current situation of calligraphy education in contemporary universities in Hunan Province) and dependent variables (curriculum system, faculty, resources and equipment, student development, and professional management). The five experts consistently assessed the questions according to the IOC standards and found that the scores ranged between 0.8-1.0, confirming their accuracy and reliability. Similarly, it was based on a questionnaire evaluation and a detailed data analysis. These include reliability and validity, descriptive, factor, correlation, and regression analyses. These methods can analyze and evaluate hypotheses, divided into five points, as well as specific hypotheses as follows: 1) Curriculum System: This had a significant positive impact on the current state of the development of calligraphy education in Hunan Province during the Qing Dynasty. 2) Faculty: Significant positive impact on the current state of calligraphy education development in Hunan Province during the Qing Dynasty. 3) Learning Resources: This had a significant positive impact on the current state of the development of calligraphy education in Hunan Province during the Qing Dynasty. 4) Student Development: This has had a significant positive impact on the current state of the development of calligraphy education in Hunan Province during the Qing Dynasty. 5) Professional management: This has had a positive impact on the current state of the development of calligraphy education in Hunan Province during the Qing Dynasty.
