Features: This book is one of the New Concept Calligraphy Series, with its poetry and calligraphy selections from the "Zhiyong's True Script Thousand Characters." Zhiyong was the seventh-generation descendant of Wang Xizhi and once wrote over 800 copies of the "Thousand Characters" while closing his doors, distributing them to temples in Zhejiang East. This became a celebrated story in the history of calligraphy. His script is deeply stable, elegant, smooth, round, and strong, with sharp edges on all sides, earning admiration from later calligraphers. The editor spent months carefully selecting and comparing each character in the poems, ensuring both loyalty to the original work and faithful reproduction of every stroke from the original calligraphy, without any substitutions. At the same time, appropriate computer technology was used for coordination, resulting in this final product. It is intended to serve as a reference for calligraphy enthusiasts for practice and study.
