Features: This is a practical calligraphy collection that bridges the gap between calligraphy copying and creation for enthusiasts. The practice of compiling calligraphy into collections has a long history. For example, the famous Tang Dynasty monk Huairong compiled the "Shengjiao Xu" from the running script of Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy. Under completely manual conditions at that time, the exquisite carving and lifelike form and spirit achieved by Huairong revealed the artistic cultivation and meticulous effort of the compiler, still leaving us in awe today. Many calligraphy enthusiasts, after practicing calligraphy copying, are eager to try calligraphy creation. Due to the limitations of ancient stele and script collections, many compiled calligraphy collections focus on idioms, good sentences, and couplets, which are difficult to meet the needs of calligraphy enthusiasts for creating with more characters. The Chinese Ancient Poetry Collection Calligraphy Series uses computer-assisted means to select and compile eighteen well-known Tang and Song Dynasty poems for readers to practice and create. It has the following features:
1. Selected model characters from the original stele are flipped to black and white, moderately enlarged, and locally corrected to retain the original stele style while giving the impression of brushwork, making it easier for readers to practice further.
2. For model characters that cannot be selected from the original stele, relevant radicals from other characters in this collection are chosen to create reasonable combinations based on the rules and charm of the original stele, ensuring coordination with existing compiled characters and the entire work.
3. Some common calligraphy formats and basic knowledge of compiled calligraphy and creation are selected as examples to help calligraphers better understand the basic methods of creation.
