There is no lack of ancient literary and art theory texts on the discussion of "heart". In Zhang’s calligraphy theory, the "heart" of the individual and the calligraphy art ontology and creation and appreciation of attention to relationship of countless ties, which is the essence of calligraphy theory. On this point, the domestic in nearly20years for Zhang Huaiguan fewer studies have involved. In this paper, the Zhang Huaiguan research mainly around the calligraphy calligraphy theory source of "tao", the "heart" of calligraphy creation subject, learning books and ballad "law" this a few aspects.From the origin of calligraphy in terms of "dao" search:first of all, Zhang Huaiguan beliebeved that calligraphy is an art, and it’s sources is close to the nature. Style of creation and rheological is not one person, but from the text to be born natural cycle movement. People can communicate everything in the world through calligraphy. The function of calligraphy has an post and love. Second, Zhang Huaiguan inherited the pre-Qin attaches great importance to the tradition of thought. Unlike the pre-qin Confucianism, Confucianism discussed in person is a social group, while the person Zhang Huaiguan argued is individual perceptual person. Zhang Huaiguan "ShuXin" theory is stressed deeply in the study of ShuGu personality, temperament, talent and knowledge of calligraphy creation. Finally, Zhang Huaiguan also attach great importance to the skill of calligraphy. Calligraphy art based on the analysis of the text and on the specification, the writing as the main performance means. Calligraphy is the artistic processing of text, text is the main carrier of calligraphy, and the line in the calligraphy art, as the most basic composition unit of the calligraphy, simple shapes and changeful form, which means endless.As for the understanding of calligraphy creation subject "heart", Zhang Huai guan advocates a kind of heart enlightenment and ghost way carries on the creation.

The creation of the calligraphy of the heart, don’t have to be attributed to one person, the heart of the so-called natural inaction creation, is the best way of saying calligraphy belong to natural inaction. Of course, people also have to return to nature, nature becomes the highest aesthetic requirements. Second, the "heart" of calligraphy creation subject and personal emotion endowment. One create the best state of mind should be pen to follow their heart to move. Zhang Huaiguan emphasizes the creation inspiration of zte will encounter with god. Creation subject gives individual infinite strength, talent and inspiration for artistic creation with a divine color, singularity of the inspiration, is a creator, other than the author between the author because it produces induction. Finally, the "heart" of calligraphy creation subject and creation method. Zhang Huaiguan in regard to the relationship between creative process center and hand, he is stressed in order to make the pen heart, through the unique about peaceful time, to grasp the mystery of calligraphy. In addition, the creation of the best state is "left hand", aimed at calligraphy creators don’t cling to the glyph, at the same time, the way to learn calligraphy not namely into fixed method.The largest law is roored in nature, in the heart should be with nature and close, don’t need to deliberately imitate the other people’s way.From ballad singing the "law" of the books and learn the Chinese calligraphy research, Zhang Huaiguan proposed the idea that calligraphy appreciation taste, as well as learning methods should be comespondon to his literary view of "heart enlightenment", the same criticism theory is putted forward.

Both Zhang book principles of theory, and its evaluation criteria of calligraphy, they are not in a direct way, but depend on the human sense. Only in this way, can we reach an understanding of the meaning and communication. In addition, Zhang Huaiguan while emphasis on talent and temperament, not to ignore the brushwork, reflected the standardization of calligraphy as an art.Zhang Huaiguan’s calligraphy theory, which is a specifications grand.
