Calligraphy has always been an important part of ancient education in China. Official education requires students to master "six arts", including the cognition and writing of Chinese characters. For the first time in Han dynasty, officials were elected by books, and a calligraphy education system independent of language education appeared. The imperial examination system has special requirements for calligraphy, which makes calligraphy have a special social status and is highly respected.
The importance of education continued until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It is true that calligraphy education in the traditional environment has become history, but there is no need to be pessimistic. Chinese character culture has maintained a history of 5,000 years, and the art of calligraphy has a unique cultural connotation. The promotion of national quality needs the influence of calligraphy culture, the inheritance of traditional culture and the support of calligraphy education. In the new era, inheriting and carrying forward the calligraphy culture as a symbol of national culture is gradually forming, and calligraphy education in primary and secondary schools is bound to usher in a real spring.
