WANG Dongling and the modernists think that, despite many changes and influences, we can still refer to the traditional calligraphic lexicon to describe the calligraphic production of contemporary Chinese art. They still remain deeply rooted in the signified system of Chinese writing, even if they break with the strict rules of Chinese classical aesthetic （contamination of Western elements and focus on the stylistic exploration）. WANG Nanming and the Avant-garde think that ＂contemporary calligraphy is not calligraphy yet＂： It is ＂anti-calligraphy＂, annihilates Chinese tradition, rejects the use of legible characters, experiments with new languages and new media within the idiom of international contemporary art. The result is the creation of works of art that could be assimilated to Abstract art, Abstract expressionism, Conceptual art, Performance art, Contemporary dance, Multimedia art, and even Street art. This paper aims at showing how still valid and extremely productive are both these two theoretical and creative/practical approaches to Chinese calligraphy in China nowadays.

Along with the development of Chinese character information processing technology, the modem computer techology has been penetrated into every field of society, it has been very important in the field of the design to implement font design and application using the computer directly. In this paper, the application of Chinese calligraphy fonts to the modem design art is discussed from computer font design and the components of Chinese characters, development trend, and modem decoration design. Calligraphy font design will be applied to more design areas, and also will be penetrated into all aspects of people＇ s daily life.展开更多

Four classical chirographies of ＂Kaisho＂, ＂Gyosho＂, ＂Sousho＂ and ＂Hiragana＂, and 47 characters for each chirography, were selected and analyzed by this system. The ＂Sumi＂ distribution of character was clarified from 12 directions and summarized into four parts of horizontal part, diagonal left part, vertical part and diagonal fight part. The character＇s contour line was converted to a signal data in order to calculate roundness index. The degree of character＇s radian was presented by roundness index. The smooth index was calculated at the same time. Additionally, width index, ＂Sumi＂ ratio, stability index also were calculated to contrast the features of each style. The main character points of four styles of ＂Kaisho＇, ＂Gyosho＂, ＂Sousho＂, ＂Hiragana＂ were extracted to compare each other, and provide a reference for learners. The learners could obtain the quantitative data to understand their work＇s characteristics. It can also be compared with other person＇s work by this system in order to improve learners＇ writing skill.展开更多
