点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This study aims to establish a foundation for the future study of theories on calligraphy by bringing to light not commonly known modern Chinese theories on calligraphy held in libraries and museums in Japan and abroad, philologically examining them, and publishing the materials as photocopies and reprints. During three years of our survey, most of the content of nine such documents on calligraphic theories have been reprinted and published, and a basic consideration toward a retrospective look at the history of theories on calligraphy has been made. In the future, we intend to continue our research to create a corpus of surveyed literature.
