Abstract

Appreciating calligraphy is a process in which the subject and the object, the active and the passive, shape each other, which lays the philosophical law of calligraphy aesthetics: the collision of objective interest and subjective interest. The philosophical essence of Chinese calligraphy’s aesthetic appreciation lies in cultivating subjective cognition based on the calligraphy's objective history.
