Features: This series has the following characteristics:
1. Appreciation: The main content of the series consists of selected aphorisms, exquisite poems, and other works, supplemented by renowned calligraphers' masterpieces in their preferred scripts. Each piece is accompanied by a brief author's note, allowing learners to appreciate the beauty of the texts and enjoy the charm of calligraphy through the critiques.
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 are mostly published individually, with relatively limited content and lacking a systematic structure to meet the broader needs of learners. This series, however, strengthens the practical aspects in both its overall planning and writing format, enhancing usability. The appended "Selections" serve as reference materials for creative practice. The series includes "Aphorisms," "Poetry," and "Couplets," each written in six scripts—Seal Script, Clerical Script, Wei Stele Script, Tang Regular Script, Running Script, and Cursive Script. It comprises 3 sets of 20 books in total. Each book contains 50 selected examples of aphorisms, poems, and couplets from history, allowing learners to choose based on their preferences and preferred script.
