Features: Copying red characters is an effective method for learning to write Chinese characters. Through copying red characters, students often achieve twice the result with half the effort. This set of copying books (three volumes in total) is specifically designed and arranged for beginners learning running script. The model texts used are the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" written by Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The second volume is arranged in the order of Chinese character radicals, from simple to complex, allowing learners to practice the writing of radicals and components after mastering individual strokes in the first volume. It places greater emphasis on the continuity between strokes. During the writing process, attention should be paid to the various variations of radical forms, as well as their interactions and avoidance relationships with other components of the characters.
