Features: This series of books has the following characteristics:
1. Appreciation: The main content of the series is a selection of famous proverbs, excellent poems, and other masterpieces, supplemented by works created by renowned calligraphers in their respective styles, accompanied by brief annotations from the authors. This allows learners to appreciate the beauty of the literary phrases while enjoying the charm of calligraphy through the calligraphers' comments.
2. Knowledge: The series covers many aspects of calligraphy creation, with concise explanations and introductions provided by the authors.
3. Practicality: Books on calligraphy creation are not only scarce but mostly appear in single-volume form, with relatively limited content and lacking a systematic structure, failing to meet the more extensive needs of learners. This series, however, enhances practicality in both its overall planning and writing style. The appended "Collected Excerpts" serves as a source of material for learners to use in their practice. The series includes "Proverbs," "Poems," and "Couplets," each written in six calligraphic styles: Seal script, Clerical script, Wei Stele script, Tang regular script, Running script, and Cursive script, making up 3 sets of 20 volumes in total. Each volume contains 50 selected proverbs, poems, and couplets from ancient times, allowing learners to choose based on their preferences and practiced calligraphic style.
