- Abstract:
- The aesthetic studies on Chinese characters should be put into the context of the modern and contemporary development of Chinese characters and the cultural demands of the audience. The object of the aesthetics of Chinese characters should include the formation and the application of Chinese characters; that is, it should cover the beauty of Chinese traditional calligraphy as a pure art form and of other forms of Chinese characters which are produced by other materials, instruments and methods for some specific purposes in our daily life. That is, the aesthetics of Chinese characters should not be confined to the traditional Chinese calligraphy.
