In 1918, Wang Cenbo, a librarian at Peking University, published the first modern history of calligraphy in China, titled "A History of Calligraphy Studies." For over a century, Peking University has been actively involved in calligraphy and the study of its history from the perspectives of aesthetic education and interdisciplinary research, making unique contributions to the history of Chinese calligraphy education.
