宋代书法“尚意”的思潮，是一代文宗欧阳修、蔡襄和苏轼等人引领下形成的。蔡襄的书法和理论作为中国传统书法文化艺术的组成部分，具有承前启后的作用。然而在很长的历史时期里，学界在研究蔡襄的诗和书法时有“论者或不然”，或认为“宋四大家”的书法是蔡京而非蔡襄等悖论。现根据史料，让我们以今人的眼光对蔡襄的书法进行整体的审视和评价。
The calligraphy in Song dynasty had the trend of "Shang Yi" under the guidance of Ouyang Xiu, Cai Xiang and Su Shi. Cai Xiang's calligraphy and theory, as one part of the traditional Chinese culture, have played an important role in linking the past and the future in Chinese calligraphy. However, there were opposite voices in the academic circles during a long time, and furthermore, Cai Jing, instead of Cai Xiang, is one of "four great calligraphers in Song dynasty", which is a fallacy in today's perspective. Now with the help of historical records, this paper gives overall review and evaluation on his works.
