Image answer in traditional calligraphy

If you have to choose one, personally, calligraphy is actually a plastic art, which is biased towards figurative art. First of all, Chinese characters are actually a simplification of hieroglyphics. After the official script came into being, it began to be written and understood, but it also retained the characteristics of hieroglyphics. In addition, the characters in calligraphy are "beautiful" only through the improvement and turning of the brush. The shade of pen and ink, dry and wet changes to reflect the changes in reality, in fact, calligraphy is modeling. Therefore, I think calligraphy is a figurative art. Don't think that calligraphy is abstract just because "characters" are abstract, which is a bit one-sided, and calligraphy should also consider the problem of composition.
