At present, the employment pressure is a national problem, and calligraphy employment cannot be blindly optimistic. However, based on the analysis of the reality, we have the following understanding:

A. Education industry

As early as 2007, NPC deputies and CPPCC members called for the establishment of calligraphy classes in primary and secondary schools across the country to educate primary and secondary school students on traditional culture. 1998, Guangdong Province began to offer calligraphy classes in primary and secondary schools in the province in the new semester. As a result, there are more than 2,000 full-time calligraphy teachers (the province needs 3,000 full-time calligraphy teachers). Moreover, calligraphy classes in primary and secondary schools in Shanghai, Beijing and Zhejiang provinces have also been fully launched, and calligraphy classes in primary and secondary schools across the country will also be realized in the near future. With the opening of calligraphy classes, the demand for calligraphy teachers will inevitably increase.

First, university education posts

With the realization of calligraphy education in primary and secondary schools, the gap of teachers is quite large. In order to meet the needs of primary and secondary school teachers, universities must increase the enrollment of calligraphy majors and increase calligraphy majors. At present, there is a shortage of university calligraphy teachers, and some students majoring in calligraphy can get the post of university teacher. For example, there is a calligraphy teacher in Guangxi Art College who graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Second, primary and secondary education jobs.

Judging from the current situation of primary and secondary schools in Guangdong Province, if all primary and secondary schools in China offer calligraphy classes, the number of calligraphy teachers will need 80,000 to 90,000, and it will take more than ten years to complete the training of calligraphy teachers in primary and secondary schools according to the existing colleges and universities, so calligraphy graduates will be a very tense industry in the next few years.

Third, education and training posts.

With the attention within the school and the promotion of quality education in primary and secondary schools, it will inevitably lead to the prosperity of the social calligraphy training market. Calligraphy training is inseparable from teachers, and calligraphy graduates with professional background will inevitably become candidates for training teachers.

B. Industries other than education

First, newspapers and magazines, publishing houses, television stations, etc.

There are more than 20 kinds of newspapers and periodicals related to calligraphy in China, and professionals who know calligraphy are needed to do this work. In addition, newspapers and periodicals also need people who know calligraphy and other arts to run literary supplements. There are more than 40 art publishing houses in China, and dozens of non-art publishing houses publish calligraphy art books. Publishing Copybook for calligraphy and calligraphy books requires professional knowledge of calligraphy, and calligraphy editing is a good channel for students majoring in calligraphy to find jobs. Television stations also need people who know the art of calligraphy to run related programs.

Second, the cultural sector.

At present, there are professional departments specializing in calligraphy research in the cultural field, such as cultural centers, literary and art circles, museums, art galleries, etc., which urgently need calligraphy professionals to engage in appraisal, appraisal and management. At present, party and government organs, enterprises and institutions are developing rapidly, but traditional culture will always exist. Writing written materials with "pen" is still an existence that government departments can never delete.

Third, enterprises and institutions.

With the development of economy, culture is paid more and more attention, and enterprises and institutions also need art graduates such as calligraphy in the construction of corporate culture.

Fourth, full-time calligraphers.

Calligraphy has gradually developed into a more pure art category. The works specially studied by professional calligraphers naturally go to the market and become works of art, and calligraphy art is an important part of the commercialization of the cultural market. The market has realized that a natural full-time calligrapher has also become a respected profession.

Fifth, troops

Joining the army as a literary and art soldier has many opportunities for promotion and transfer during his service.
