Chinese Treatises on Calligraphy (《中国书谱》,ISSN 3107-3255)is a professional journal dedicated to academic research on calligraphy, with its core mission being the inheritance and promotion of the Chinese calligraphic tradition. It deeply explores the Chinese theoretical system of calligraphy, focusing on both the ontology of calligraphy and interdisciplinary frontiers. Committed to academic rigor, originality, and professionalism, the journal strives to refine the disciplinary system and academic discourse of calligraphy studies, aiming to establish a high-quality scholarly platform that integrates historical depth, theoretical insight, documentary value, and international perspectives.
Its column framework is grounded in theoretical research, supported by the study of steles and rubbings, while also encompassing cutting-edge scholarship, archival collation, and academic services. The journal covers calligraphy history, studies of calligraphers and schools, calligraphic theory and aesthetics, steles, rubbings, and codicology, seal carving and epigraphy, calligraphy education and disciplinary construction, as well as contemporary critical studies on calligraphy.
This is Issue 2 of the professional calligraphy journal Chinese Calligraphy Manuscripts. Rooted in China’s millennia-old calligraphic heritage, the journal focuses on contemporary scholarly research outcomes and cultural dissemination of calligraphy. Its core columns include calligraphic theoretical deliberation, epigraphic textual research, studies on calligraphers of successive dynasties, and the continuation of cultural traditions. Breaking regional barriers within the calligraphy community, it embraces diverse perspectives from literary historians, professional calligraphers, calligraphy educators, and overseas sinologists. Adhering to the principle of upholding tradition while pursuing innovation, the journal advances the inheritance and global development of calligraphic culture through professional publication, academic seminars, and cross-regional academic collaboration.
