When carrying out off-campus training, sports, art (or music and art) and comprehensive practical activities (including information technology education and labor technology education) are managed according to non-disciplinary categories. Calligraphy is divided into fine arts. In universities, except for a few comprehensive universities with specialized calligraphy colleges, calligraphy is mostly a major under the Department of Fine Arts, which has a calligraphy department.
Therefore, hard pen calligraphy is undoubtedly a non-disciplinary category.
Hard pen calligraphy features:
Hard pen calligraphy has the characteristics of convenient carrying, fast writing and wide use value. The difference between it and the brush pen is that it changes the rough stippling of the soft pen into a slender stippling, and removes its tendons and bones.
Hard pen calligraphy is divided into hard pen calligraphy art and practical hard pen calligraphy. The former mainly emphasizes artistry, while the latter mainly emphasizes practicality. The artistry of hard-pen calligraphy mainly expresses the writer's understanding and feeling of calligraphy art through the changes of lines and structures. It pursues beauty, emotion, interest, artistic conception, personality and so on.
