| This study proposes a contemporary aesthetic evaluation framework for Chinese calligraphy by combining traditional Chinese artistic principles with Western formalist theories. A comparative analysis approach is used, referencing the theoretical models of Heinrich Wolfflin and Erwin Panofsky to examine selected traditional Chinese calligraphic styles. The analysis reveals that Wolfflin_s stylistic contrast principles and Panofsky_s iconological method can be effectively applied to the structural and expressive elements of Chinese calligraphy. The findings further show that these Western theoretical frameworks can uncover the visual distinctiveness and conceptual foundations embedded in traditional Chinese calligraphic practices. By bridging cultural and theoretical boundaries, this study offers a fresh perspective for critically evaluating Chinese calligraphy within global art history. The resulting framework not only strengthens scholarly understanding of calligraphic aesthetics but also provides a practical method for identifying and describing stylistic features and aesthetic values across various calligraphic traditions. This study also contributes to ongoing discussions on cross-cultural aesthetics and has potential for future research. Furthermore, it opens new opportunities for exploration in cross-cultural art criticism methods and lays a foundation for developing new perspectives in Chinese calligraphy research. |
