Features: This book is a copy of the "Zhang Qian Stele" by He Shaoji, which helps readers, while referring to the original, to deeply understand and grasp the ingenuity and skillful use of He Shaoji when copying ancient steles. It emphasizes the artistic characteristics of focusing on the structure rather than the pose when copying steles, achieving novelty while embracing tradition, taking risks within stability, and finding beauty in instability. Therefore, Tan Yankai said: "Mr. He, along with Qian Nanquan, Liu Shian and Weng Songchan, was one of the four great masters of the Qing Dynasty." This is no exaggeration.
