Does the double reduction policy include calligraphy?

The Ministry of Education has issued the Notice on Further Defining the Scope of Off-campus Training of Compulsory Education, which clearly states that subject training includes: Chinese, Mathematics, Foreign Languages (English, Japanese and Russian), Morality and Rule of Law, History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Off-campus training of physical education, art and comprehensive practice is not subject training. Calligraphy belongs to art training, which is not within the scope of the double reduction policy, so it is not affected.
