Does copying calligraphy works and selling them infringe the copyright of the authors of calligraphy works? If there is infringement, which article of the copyright law is violated? What is the basis

Calligraphy works are not clearly defined in China's copyright law. Article 4 (8) of the Regulations for the Implementation of Copyright Law classifies calligraphy works as a form of art works, that is, art works refer to plane or three-dimensional plastic art works with aesthetic significance, such as painting, calligraphy, sculpture and so on.

According to Article 10 (5) of the Copyright Law, "the right of reproduction refers to the right to make one or more copies of a work by printing, copying, rubbing, recording, video recording, copying and remaking." The copy should be highly consistent with the content of the work expressed in the original. The copied works are not highly consistent, so they do not infringe the right of reproduction in the copyright law.
