The Fractal Nature of Chinese Calligraphy

This paper discusses the fractal nature of Chinese calligraphy. By comparing the Cantorian triadic bar with the Fuxi Sixty-four Hexagram Sequence Diagram that defines the cosmological and brush-and-ink-related technical significances of Chinese calligraphy, the author argues that the Fuxi Sixty-four Hexagram Sequence Diagram not only shares some similarities with the Cantorian triadic bar, but also defines the fractal nature of Chinese calligraphy. With the help of Technical Calligraphy Studies, Chinese calligraphy can be understood to be not only fractal but also algorithmic.
