Features: This series is divided into five major parts—horizontal scrolls, square scrolls, fan-shaped scrolls, circular frames, and album pages—each with a specific format. Each part features illustrations in three styles: flowers and birds, landscapes, and figures, totaling fifteen volumes. Each volume contains fifty self-drawn examples by the author, providing guidance on aspects such as paper and ink preparation, composition arrangement, painting process, seal appreciation, and artwork reviews. It also includes instructions on folding paper, inscribing captions, using seals, common painting knowledge, and an anthology of poetry for painting, all to enhance its practicality. This series aims to offer practical technical guidance and specific references for learners, but true mastery requires readers to practice tirelessly. It is by no means a universal key simply because of guidance.
