Features: The art of Chinese calligraphy has a long history, leaving behind countless treasures over thousands of years. However, due to the evolution of characters and the preservation of calligraphic artifacts, we encounter difficulties such as differences in ancient and modern characters, as well as damaged steles and rubbings during our learning process. In line with the purpose of promoting national culture and popularizing and improving the art of calligraphy, we have selected a number of steles and calligraphic works with different scripts and styles from the vast legacy of historical calligraphy. We have scientifically analyzed the structure of strokes, provided detailed explanations of copying methods, meticulously restored damaged characters, and discussed the evolution of characters from ancient to modern times, all to serve as learning materials and references for calligraphy enthusiasts and educators. The Three Yuan Student Copybook is another practical copybook following The Three Yuan Character Collection. It combines teaching and learning, integrating scientific rigor and rapid effectiveness, offering a systematic and well-structured teaching material for calligraphy instructors. Renowned calligrapher Qi Gong highly praised the book, enthusiastically inscribing the phrase "Unique and Distinctive" and writing the title for this publication. This textbook's regular script section consists of six volumes: Yan Zhenqing's Yan Qinli Stele and Dabota Stele; Liu Songquan's Xuanmi Tower Stele; Ouyang Xun's Jiu Cheng Gong Liquan Ming; Zhao Mengfu's Danba Stele; and Chu Suiliang's Yanta Shengjiao Xu. Each volume is divided into six units: brushwork, strokes, stroke application, radicals, structure, and character collection. These units are interconnected and progress in a systematic manner. Each unit is accompanied by concise textual explanations, enabling learners to grasp the essentials and enter the realm of calligraphy more quickly. The character collection section serves as a bridge from copying to creation, allowing every learner to truly enjoy the joy of learning. Additionally, the Yan, Liu, and Ouyang sections are equipped with The Three Yuan Tracing Red, providing beginners with a solid foundation.
