To comprehensively improve calligraphy skills, one must conform to learning models. If we compare the calligraphy model books currently available in bookstores with those before China’s reform and opening-up, it would not be an exaggeration to describe them in entirely different terms. This is evident in the number of model books. Today’s calligraphy model books are abundant in both quantity and variety. Commonly used legal model books are easily found in bookstores, with some having dozens or even hundreds of different printed editions available for learners. The quality of model books has greatly improved, featuring exquisite printing and moderate pricing. In terms of content, past publications primarily featured the most common classical works. Nowadays, publishers frequently release complete sets of famous masterpieces and rare editions, such as "Chinese Master Calligraphy Inscriptions" and "Complete Collection of Calligraphic Works," which are series containing over a hundred works. The variety of learning models now available meets the diverse aesthetic preferences of learners and also facilitates the popularization and evolution of calligraphy creation.
In addition to model books, calligraphy works themselves have become increasingly rich and diverse. Learners can select categorized instructional books according to their personal needs, while professional researchers have access to a vast array of books for reading and reference. Moreover, publishing houses and cultural and educational administrative departments also provide various funding supports for the publication of professional research results.
Over the past 40 years since reform and opening-up, the calligraphy community has also cultivated several influential journals and newspaper brands, serving as spiritual havens for communication among calligraphy researchers and enthusiasts. Among them, established professional media such as "Chinese Calligraphy," "Calligraphy," "Calligraphy Research," "Calligraphy Series," "Calligraphy Appreciation," "Calligraphy Daily," "Calligraphy Guide," and "China Calligraphy Daily" hold considerable industry influence. With the advancement of the internet and the emergence of new media, calligraphy websites and new media dissemination methods have become important channels for the public to acquire and share calligraphy knowledge and information.
