This study adopted several research methods including document research, inductive method, and analysis of aesthetic ideology. There are three main points based on the analysis: (1) Zong Baihua, who was cultivated by the ideology of Zhouyi, Confucianism, Taoism, and Zen growing up in the literary family and influenced by Immanuel Kant's and Arthur Schopenhauer's philosophies studying in Germany, developed his unique aesthetic foundation. (2) The realm of calligraphy is the significant calligraphy art created by a calligrapher through his life experience; for instance, Zhang Xu performed his cursive art after being drunk and expressed his emotions such as happiness, melancholy and sadness in support of the blend of emotion and scenery of calligraphy. (3) Based on Zong Baihu's discussions on calligraphic categories, his brush techniques conform to Zhiyong's Eight Principles of Yong, his structures of characters follows Ouyang Xun's Thirty- Six Rules in the character structure of regular script, and his layout of characters in a work is built on the principle of "Xiang Guanling" (i.e. the rule on the continuation of the energy flow) and "Yinjie" (i.e. the principle of act-and response). Zong Baihua, who proposed aesthetics of calligraphy, has a profound influence on later generations and his contribution to calligraphy should not be neglected.
