Features: "SBS Step-by-Step Hard Pen Calligraphy Teaching Series" is a set of books meticulously compiled by the world-class hard pen calligrapher, Mr. Liu Yuhui, for middle and high school students and to practice hard pen calligraphy. This series of teaching materials is divided into "Hard Pen Regular Script Speed Training" (already published), "Hard Pen Running Script Speed Training" (already published), and "Hard Pen Regular Script Training," "Hard Pen Running Script Training," etc. Each volume is both independently structured and can be used alone, or can be combined with other volumes to form a complete introductory speed training textbook. This book is "Hard Pen Running Script Training," which adopts the learning methods of tracing, copying, and shading. It starts with "from points to surfaces, from strokes to characters, and from characters to paragraphs," progressing layer by layer, intensifying training, and ultimately achieving the goal of rapid entry into hard pen calligraphy. It integrates knowledge, interest, science, and standardization, greatly facilitating the practice of calligraphy for learners. Tracing, copying, and shading are three scientific methods of learning calligraphy, serving as the key to opening the door to calligraphy for beginners. The ancients said: "Copying is easy to imitate the positions of the ancients but often loses their brushwork; tracing is easy to grasp the positions of the ancients but often fails to capture their brushwork. Copying is easier to advance, while tracing is easier to forget." Only by combining copying and tracing can one learn from both and achieve both form and spirit. This set of character books is a practical model that organically combines the three methods of tracing, copying, and shading. When using it, first trace on thin paper prepared in advance; then practice with your own paper for several times; finally, trace over the red characters to reinforce the effects of copying and tracing. By practicing one page a day and persisting, you will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort and master a beautiful calligraphy style.
