2026-02-27   

Behind calligraphy is the development of the entire Chinese society and the development of Chinese culture. We hope to explore the creativity of Chinese people more through the sorting of calligraphy. Recently, Shen Hao, Secretary of the Party Committee of China Academy of Art (hereinafter referred to as "China Academy of Fine Arts"), revealed a major academic plan of the school in Hangzhou - to launch the compilation work of the "Chinese Calligraphy Department of Various Dynasties". This project will take 10 years, gather resources from all parties, and ultimately produce a comprehensive masterpiece of up to 330 volumes as a symbolic cultural achievement to present the "basic realization of socialist modernization" by 2035. In Shen Hao's view, calligraphy revision is far more than just a simple compilation of artistic materials. We plan to spend 10 years starting from 2026 to comprehensively sort out the history, famous books, masterpieces, calligraphers, and other aspects of Chinese calligraphy. ”Shen Hao said that the key is to sort out the history of the development of Chinese calligraphy, and behind this history is the continuous evolution of Chinese social civilization. He emphasized the core of "innovation power". We hope to explore the creativity of Chinese people and the innovative power of Chinese social civilization in the continuous evolution process through the organization of calligraphy. This exploration of innovative power is not only to look back at the past, but also to illuminate the future. Let traditional culture feed back more into our other disciplines. ”Shen Hao said so. When asked why the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts is leading this 10-year cultural project, Shen Hao believes that both the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts and Zhejiang have unparalleled "triple advantages". Firstly, it is a solid practical foundation. From the perspective of our own team, we have worked on the 'Zhejiang Calligraphy Series'. He mentioned that the previous systematic organization of Zhejiang calligraphy has trained the team and accumulated experience for this nationwide series. Secondly, it is a successful collaboration model. We participated in the compilation work of the 'Chinese Historical Painting Series', "Shen Hao said. Such large-scale scientific research project experience can be replicated. Lastly, it holds a pioneering academic position. Since the 1960s, painters such as Pan Tianshou have taken the lead in establishing calligraphy and seal carving majors here, and the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts has always been a gathering center for calligraphy academic resources. It is reported that the "Chinese Calligraphy Series of Various Dynasties" will integrate research on literature, images, and characters. (New Society)
