Abstract: The sacred land of Bashu nurtures an exceptional Bashu culture, where Su Shis calligraphic creations and scholarly philosophy stand as indispensable intellectual crystallizations and cultural pioneers. His calligraphic essence has profoundly influenced calligraphy creation, research, and education in the Bashu region. Both his calligraphic works and poetic compositions embody the patriotic spirit characteristic of the Chinese nation. This paper analyzes Su Dongpo's national integrity manifested in his calligraphic creations by integrating the cultural features of Bashu with his calligraphic philosophy. Through tracing the evolution of calligraphy via his scholarly journey and considering Bashus unique regional characteristics, it aims to re-examine the core essence of Su Shis calligraphy.

Keywords: Su Dongpo; Bashu culture; calligraphy; national integrity
