DEVELOPMENT OF CALLIGRAPHY EDUCATION MODELS IN HUNAN, THE QING DYNASTY STYLE, THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

Huxiang (Hunan) calligraphy is an important part of Qing Dynasty Chinese calligraphy. The contemporary development of Hunan calligraphy education during the Qing Dynasty was a mirror-like exploration. With respect to the problem of contemporary calligraphy education, how to make this education model with traditional cultural characteristics move from ancient times to systematically modern education is an interesting question. This study has three goals: (1) to focus on the characteristics of the Hunan calligraphy style and the type, practice process, and influence of the calligraphy education model during the Qing Dynasty. (2) Investigate the development of calligraphy majors in contemporary universities in Hunan Province and build a model. (3) Evaluate the contemporary calligraphy development model and propose a strategy for model development. This study combined quantitative and qualitative approaches. The research sample group included representative calligraphers in Hunan during the Qing Dynasty and 30 corresponding studies. The research population included university calligraphy experts, heads of art museums, school-enterprise cooperation departments, primary and secondary calligraphy schools, university calligraphy teachers, students, and graduates. The data analysis tools used statistical analysis and synthesis methods to display the means and standard deviations. The results revealed that the average value of the Hunan calligraphy education model in the Qing Dynasty in the development of contemporary university calligraphy education in Hunan was 3.58, and the standard deviation was 1.23. Similarly, the average values of the six dimensions (curriculum system, faculty, learning resources, student development, and professional management) are close to or exceed 3.4. The regression analysis results supported hypotheses H1 to H5, and the p value (significance) was found to be <0.05. Similarly, from the in-depth interviews and discussion groups, a contemporary university professional education model can be constructed, development trends can be analyzed according to the goals, and development strategies can be proposed.
