台灣在延續中華文化的努力上，五十多年來的確不遺餘力也成果卓著，但隨著現代化、全球化也幾乎是西方化的衝擊，加上台灣本土意識的崛起，一股反對中國（中國人、中國來台的政權、中國文化、中國話），強調台灣（台灣人、台灣人的政權、台灣文化、台灣話）的浪潮，正嚴重衝擊著台灣的社會。書法藝術雖貴為華人藝術之寶，終究還是無法抵擋日迫西山之勢，老一代的書藝名家逐漸凋零辭世，中生代在傳統與現代中拉鋸、撕裂，能有創見整合且開創新局者寥寥可數，而大多數的新生代不會欣賞也不想欣賞，因為追求經濟上的優沃享受，早已凌駕對精神文化的需求。捍衛華人文化不遺餘力的台灣社會已然如此，更遑論中國。本論文即是企圖探討在台灣現代書藝美學的教育與推廣之努力與可能性。

Taiwan has made tremendous efforts over the past fifty years in the cultural field and has made great achievements in ensuring the survival of traditional Chinese culture. But with the impact of modernization, of westernization and of globalization and with the rise of local Taiwanese consciousness, a new wave of opposition to mainstream China (including mainstream Chinese people, Chinese political power emanating from Mainland China and even the Mandarin Chinese language) is swelling through Taiwanese society and there is now an ever increasing desire to emphasise instead the local Taiwanese consciousness (including Taiwanese people, Taiwanese political power, Taiwanese culture and Taiwanese language). Although calligraphic art is one of the 'treasures' of Chinese culture, it is still however, in these modern times, an art in decline. The senior calligraphy masters are growing old and dying; the middle-aged calligraphers are vacillating between the modern and the tradition. Few calligraphers of the younger generation have been able to develop new ideas or to bring about innovations in the field of calligraphy. Most of Taiwan's young generation is not interested in or lacks any ability to appreciate calligraphic art. This essay is going to educate and popularize the Aesthetics of contemporary calligraphic art in Taiwan.
