Features: The accelerating pace of modern life and the diverse choices of learning methods have made "calligraphy collections" play an increasingly prominent role in the current study of calligraphy. These collections, featuring various scripts and the styles of different calligraphers, allow learners to enjoy the pleasures of copying and creating in a short time. Therefore, "calligraphy collections" are widely favored by calligraphy enthusiasts and teachers. Following the publication of the first series of "Chinese Couplets Calligraphy Collections" primarily in regular and clerical scripts, our publishing house now presents the second series of "Couplets Calligraphy Collections," featuring running, cursive, Wei Stele, and Han Bamboo Slips scripts, totaling eight volumes. This set of calligraphy books emphasizes capturing the essence of the original stele styles or calligrapher's demeanor. In details such as transferring stele carvings into ink traces, refining the edges of strokes, and arranging radicals and structures, it strives for appropriateness and naturalness, achieving perfection. At the same time, it also strives to maintain unity with variation in the posture response and layout of each couplet, aiming to provide readers with more and better references for learning calligraphy.
