The Integration of Cultural Preservation in Chinese Calligraphy Education at The China Academy of Art

Abstract

This study examines the level of compliance and the factors affecting the integration of cultural preservation in Chinese calligraphy education at the China Academy of Art. Focusing on historical knowledge, cultural significance, and calligraphy practices, the research employed a mixed-methods approach, utilizing surveys and interviews with teachers, administrators, alumni, and industry partners. The findings indicate a moderate level of compliance, with strengths in the recognition of calligraphy’s cultural identity and the integration of modern tools. However, areas such as the mastery of traditional techniques, the depth of historical understanding, and the incorporation of cultural preservation practices require improvement. Key factors affecting compliance include the lack of comprehensive resources, limited teacher training, insufficient experiential learning opportunities, and weak collaboration between educational institutions and cultural organizations.
