The subjects in the study are the officials who compiled "zhushu" in Han dynasty. The essay observes the group and their daily routines, with an aim to illustrate the fact that these officials served an undeniable purpose in the study of the flourishing development of the Han calligraphy. The essay consists of four sections, containing about 40,000 words.Section I discusses the historical background, classification and hierarchies of the officials. The writer tries to comb through the group's constitution from the ranking perspective.Section II deals with the group's enrolling systems and their social status, building a basis for observing the group's compiling work in the latter part, after revealing the close tie between the feudal social and political life and the officials.Section III elaborates the writing work of the officials. The essay fully recognizes the practical functions of the officials and attempts to clearly identify the reasons for the existence and development of the groups in order to state the special part they played in the specific Han period.The last section touches the contributions the officials made to the "zhu shu" compilation and their presentation of the feeling of beauty. Both the roles the group played in the development of Chinese characters and their creation of calligraphy beauty are greatly respected.Not only the great calligraphy masters from the east and west Han but also the officials of lower ranks deserve special attention in studying the influence of the Han calligraphy on Chinese calligraphy. It requires a fair evaluation of the significance of the group in Han history of calligraphy. Based on the pragmatic writing work and various issues related to the group, the essay has explored the topic from different perspectives.
