My answer is not authoritative, but it is absolutely to the point. Taking a step back won't mislead you.
I am also a calligraphy lover. Generally speaking, calligraphy originated in China, and the whole world is learning calligraphy and paying attention to it. This is a fact. Especially in Asia, such as Singapore, Japan and South Korea, some countries believe that calligraphy originated in their country. Japanese and Korean pay more attention to calligraphy than we do in China. In Japan, you can't get a professorship if you don't pass calligraphy. The most popular and respected positions in Japan are: doctor, teacher, lawyer and calligrapher.
Since it is calligraphy, it must be inseparable from the category of Chinese studies, such as Confucius and Mencius. People in Japan and Korea have great respect for Confucius and Mencius and those who contend with a hundred schools of thought. When Tian of China went there to exchange calligraphy, he mentioned Confucius, and they knelt down on the spot to worship (this is Tian's calligraphy lecture).
At the same time, calligraphy is also the core of oriental aesthetics.
Therefore, calligraphy has been studied not only in China, but also in many countries, and attaches great importance to it. The country with the strongest calligraphy is China. You should remember that calligraphy originated in China.
Thank you.
