Abstract

This study investigates five primary Chinese calligraphy styles—Seal Script, Clerical Script, Regular Script, Running Script, and Cursive Script—through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) supported by AT.LAS software and network visualization. The SLR methodology ensures a rigorous synthesis of existing research, while AT.LAS facilitates systematic coding and visualization of relationships between styles. The findings highlight each style’s distinct functions and cultural roles, such as Seal Script’s commemorative use and Regular Script’s standardization. To enhance global accessibility, this study suggests integrating calligraphy into modern education, utilizing digital platforms, and improving access to traditional materials. These approaches aim to preserve calligraphy while making it relevant for contemporary audiences. The study provides a foundation for future interdisciplinary research, ensuring the sustained evolution of this ancient art form.
