Abstract The influences of brushwork and structure on the aesthetic quality of Chinese characters is an important issue in eastern calligraphy culture and is also related to the aesthetic evaluation technology in the field of digital calligraphy. However, in the past, this issue was mainly discussed qualitatively, mostly based on personal aesthetic experience. This study proposed an experimental method to quantitatively study it, which combined technologies in several disciplines, such as spline curve modeling and aesthetic scales. Firstly, six representative regular scripts of 78 high-frequency characters were selected as raw materials, participants were recruited to mark the structural key points using a customized annotation software, and the character images after the "brushwork feature removal" operation were modeled using Bezier curve. Further, the strictly defined "structure unification" operation was applied to these character images. Therefore, three groups of stimuli were obtained and each contains 468 character images. Then, an aesthetic scale was designed, and participants were recruited to evaluate the preference and style of the three groups of stimuli. Each participant was randomly assigned to one of the three. Finally, statistical analysis on the evaluation data showed that the influence of brushwork on the style of regular script was much higher than that of structure, and the influence of brushwork on the preference was slightly higher than that of structure. However, the above finding is limited to the several classical regular scripts selected in the experiment, and "brushwork feature removal" and "structure unification" can not fully cover the scope of relevant concepts in previous classical theories. The study shows that the scientific method can be used to study the propositions in calligraphy theory.

笔法与结构对楷书文字美学品质影响的量化研究
笔法与结构对文字观感的影响是中国书法文化的重要研究命题,也与数字书法领域审美评价技术相关联。但以往对该命题主要为定性讨论。本文结合计算机样条曲线及审美量表等技术,设计了一种实验方法对其进行量化研究。首先,选取78个高频字的6种有代表性的楷书体文字作为样品,自编软件并招募测试人员对其标注结构特征点,并用参数曲线建模输出“去除笔法”后的样品图,再进一步经严格定义的“统一结构”操作进行处理,共获得3组样品图,每组468幅。然后,编制审美量表,招募测试者以随机分配的方式对3组样品评测美感和风格。最后,对评测数据进行统计分析。结果显示,对于楷书文字的风格而言,笔法的影响远高于结构;对于文字的美感而言,笔法的作用也大于结构,但影响有限。该结果局限于实验选定的几种经典的楷书文字,且其定义的“去除笔法”和“统一结构”并不能完全涵盖以往经验理论中的相关概念范围。研究表明,自然学科的方法可用于研究书法学中的命题。
