Features: This series of books has the following characteristics:
1. Appreciation: The main content of the series is selected aphorisms, exquisite poems, and other works, supplemented by renowned calligraphers' excellent creations in their respective styles, accompanied by brief annotations from the authors. This allows learners to appreciate the beauty of the literary and poetic phrases while also enjoying the charm of calligraphy through the calligraphers' comments.
2. Knowledge: The series covers a wide range of knowledge related to calligraphy creation, with concise explanations and introductions provided by the authors.
3. Practicality: Books on calligraphy creation are not only scarce but are mostly published individually, with relatively limited content and lacking a systematic structure, failing to meet the broader needs of learners. This series, however, strengthens this aspect in both its overall planning and writing style, enhancing its practicality. The "Selected Works" appended at the end serves as a collection of themes for learners to use in their creations. The series includes "Aphorisms," "Poems," and "Couplets," each written in distinct calligraphic styles such as Seal Script, Clerical Script, Wei Stele Script, Tang Regular Script, Running Script, and Cursive Script, totaling 3 sets of 20 volumes. Each volume contains carefully selected examples of aphorisms, poems, and couplets from ancient times, allowing learners to choose based on their preferences and practiced calligraphic styles.
