ABSTRACT
Calligraphy art is an excellent traditional treasure of China. For Chinese people,
calligraphy education is not only the teaching of Chinese character writing skills,
but also the cultivation of Chinese culture. It is also the process of experiencing and
practicing the rules of square and round, cultivating self-cultivation, aesthetic
perception and other spirits in the writing practice. Carrying out characteristic
construction reform in schools is an important way to achieve quality education,
and creating calligraphy characteristic schools is also an important part of school
characteristic construction. The establishment of calligraphy characteristic schools
can not only improve students' traditional cultural accomplishment, cultivate their
moral sentiments, and cultivate their recognition of the excellent traditional
culture of the Chinese nation and national spirit; Moreover, it can promote the
development of schools, balance educational resources and promote educational
equity. This paper will take school A in Tianfu New District, Chengdu, Sichuan
Province, China as an example, sort out the construction and development of its
calligraphy characteristic schools, refine and form characteristic, effective and
referential calligraphy education experience, explore effective strategies, provide
strong support for the construction and development of calligraphy education
characteristic schools, form templates and paradigms, and further improve the
comprehensive quality of calligraphy education characteristic schools as a whole,
Promote the comprehensive popularization and high-quality development of
calligraphy education.

INTRODUCTION
People in every country in the world have their own proud cultural symbols and symbols. For
the Chinese nation with a long history of 5000 years, calligraphy is undoubtedly the most
representative cultural symbol (Guo Jidong, 2000). As g. W. F. Hegel said, "Chinese calligraphy
most clearly reflects the Chinese cultural spirit". Calligraphy is an excellent traditional culture
of the Chinese nation, and "in the long run, the cultivation of cultural quality and the inheritance
of traditional culture should be the core content of calligraphy education." (Hu Yongxin, 2003).
Calligraphy is the quintessence of China; It is a brilliant cultural treasure formed through
thousands of years of historical accumulation and the search of sages; It is a university question
that covers the relationship between people and the world; It is the crystallization of the
wisdom of the Chinese nation; It is the most cultural and artistic category with Chinese
characteristics (Li Yongting, 2014). It enjoys high honor, status and value not only in China but

also in the world. Learning calligraphy can develop students' intelligence, cultivate their
endurance and self-confidence, and improve their aesthetic ability. It can be seen that
calligraphy culture is not only as simple as writing, but also has profound cultural origins
behind it. Calligraphy characteristic schools promote students' learning of calligraphy culture,
which is an important measure for the successors of Chinese traditional excellent culture. Fully
study the development path of calligraphy characteristic schools, and provide theoretical basis
for promoting the better development of calligraphy characteristic schools (Ma Lianfang, Song
Caicai, 1997).

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The development of school aesthetic education in the new era adheres to the mechanism of
school aesthetic education for all, encourages characteristic development, and forms a new
situation of school aesthetic education development of "one school, one product" and "one
school, many products". The establishment and practice of calligraphy characteristic schools
are in line with the needs of the new era. Calligraphy characteristic schools will help to further
enrich the relevant theories of characteristic school research and calligraphy education.
Various activities carried out by the calligraphy characteristic school enrich the theoretical
basis for the characteristic development of school education (Qi Xingui, Cai Zongmo, 2010). At
the same time, taking the study of calligraphy characteristic schools as a breakthrough, it builds
a relatively macro blueprint for calligraphy education and teaching, provides certain reference
for the accurate positioning of calligraphy education and teaching, enriches the relevant
theories of calligraphy education, and promotes the all-round development of students and

an important part of the development of aesthetic education in the new era to open calligraphy
classes well, promote evaluation reform, and encourage the development of school
characteristics. The promulgation of this series of calligraphy education guidance documents
has a very important impact on the construction of calligraphy characteristic schools, which not
only creates the overall environment of calligraphy education, but also promotes the attention
and investment of education departments in charge of calligraphy, and has a far-reaching
impact on the effectiveness of the construction of calligraphy characteristic schools (Chu
Jiangting, 2008).
At present, studies in China have proved that calligraphy learning plays a positive role in the
development of students. For example, after scientific measurement and long-term follow-up
research, Professor Zhou Bin of East China Normal University found that calligraphy learning
has a very positive effect on children's personality development and can promote children's
mental health to a certain extent (Xiong Deya, Xiang Banghua, Jia Yi, 2012). At the same time,
calligraphy learning can promote children's mathematical intelligence, language intelligence,
sports intelligence, music intelligence and introspective intelligence. Calligraphy learning can
positively promote some components of emotional intelligence, and significantly promote the
development of children's emotions and their adjustment strategies (Wu Xinchun, 2013).
Professor Jin Yigui of Xiamen Institute of education put forward the teaching method of "writing
psychoanalysis - character practice correction" based on the "Internalization Theory" of the
former Soviet psychologist vygowski. From this, it can be seen that calligraphy has undoubtedly
promoted the development of students. Calligraphy characteristic schools can better promote
the growth and development of students by taking calligraphy as a breakthrough in quality
education and taking calligraphy culture as the focus of students' mental education ( Lu
Guangyuan, 2013).
At the same time, according to u. Bronfenbrenner's ecosystem theory and its model (as shown
in the Fig.1), the impact of the environment on individual development can be systematically
described (Liu Huilin, Pang Songnan, 2015).
