Features: This book is arranged according to the radical arrangement method of the Great Chinese Dictionary. It includes a Preface, a Radical Index, and a Radical Lookup Table before the main text, and a List of Cited Inscriptions and a Stroke Lookup Table after the main text. This book is a toolbook for calligraphy art, distinct from textual reference books, and occasionally includes variant characters that deviate from the standard form. The stroke count in the Stroke Lookup Table is calculated based on the common modern conventions. The book compiles calligraphic works from the pre-Qin period to the modern era, featuring the works of renowned calligraphers who have passed away. The original sizes of the single characters from different historical calligraphic works vary greatly. To accommodate as much content as possible within limited space, the single characters from calligraphic works have been resized.
