Features: This is a practical calligraphy collection book that serves as a bridge for calligraphy enthusiasts from copying to creation. Collecting and compiling calligraphy into books has a long history. For example, the famous Tang Dynasty monk Huairong compiled the "Shengjiao Xu" by collecting the running script of Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy. Under completely manual conditions at that time, the exquisite carving and lifelike form and spirit achieved by him fully revealed the author's artistic cultivation and meticulous effort, which still impresses us today. Many calligraphy enthusiasts, after practicing calligraphy copying, eagerly want to try calligraphy creation. Due to the limitations of ancient stele texts, many collected calligraphy books focus on idioms, famous quotes, and couplets, making it difficult to meet the calligraphy enthusiasts' demand for creating works with more characters. The Chinese Ancient Poetry Collection Calligraphy Series uses computer-aided means and selects eighteen popular Tang and Song Dynasty poems for readers to practice and create. It has the following features: 1. Selected exemplary characters from original stele versions are flipped to black and white, moderately enlarged, and locally corrected to maintain their original stele style while giving the impression of brush strokes, making them easier for readers to practice further. 2. For characters that cannot be collected from the original stele editions, relevant radicals from other characters in this book are selected and reasonably combined according to the rules and artistic flavor of the original stele editions, ensuring coordination with existing collected characters and complete works. 3. Some common calligraphy formats and basic knowledge of collected calligraphy and creation are selected as examples to help calligraphers gain a more comprehensive understanding of the basic methods of creation.
