Medhoes: The study used literature research, cultural and historical investigation, case study and expert interviews. Results: The results show that Laozi philosophy is embodied in the aesthetic concept of Chinese calligraphy art as pursuing the common beauty of natural and natural flow, emphasizing the combination of virtual and real, vivid artistic expression, as well as the unity of artistic conception and ink. In the aspect of calligraphy creation, Laozi's philosophy encourages artists to explore themselves, emphasizes the adjustment and purification of mood and creative realm, and advocates the artistic pursuit of reducing the road and simplifying the complex. The analysis of classical calligraphy works and the calligraphers 'quotation and integration of Laozi's philosophy show that Laozi's philosophy has a profound influence on the art of calligraphy. Conclusion: The conclusion is that Lao Tzu's philosophy provides the theoretical basis and aesthetic guidance for Chinese calligraphy art, and has an important enlightenment and guiding role for the creative practice of calligraphy artists.
