Focusing on the calligraphy practices of late Qing officials,this research argues that their engagement in calligraphy was not only an expression of personal refinement but also a crucial mode of social interaction.Through daily practice,they pursued artistic excellence,using calligraphic works as a means to social engagement.Furthermore,the research suggests that calligraphy in the late Qing era maintained its adherence to traditional Chinese culture despite the influence of Western culture,while also adopting certain modern techniques to enhance writing efficiency.The abolition of the imperial examination system,however,played a significant role in marginalizing calligraphy education.Overall,the calligraphic activities of late Qing officials exemplify both the continuity of Chinese tradition and the complexities of a transformative era.
