Features: Compiling a calligraphy reference book is quite challenging. The main reason is that there are many similar and closely related works, which often become cluttered and tedious, making it difficult for people to abandon them despite not loving them enough. Therefore, the editors' intention is to cover comprehensively while avoiding repetition, to simplify and refine, so as to meet the cultural knowledge needs of a broad readership and serve as a helpful tool for professional workers. To stay as aligned as possible with the pace of modern life, this book strives for brevity and convenience in selection, arrangement, and explanation. It also attempts to explain illustrations with text and represent ideas through visuals, aiming to provide readers with a simple and intuitive experience and basic assistance.
