Features: This series of books has the following characteristics:
1. Appreciation: The main content of the series consists of selected aphorisms, poetry masterpieces, etc., supplemented by excellent works created by renowned calligraphers in their respective styles, accompanied by brief annotations by the authors. This allows learners not only to appreciate the beauty of the literary phrases but also to enjoy the charm of calligraphy through the critiques by the calligraphers.
2. Knowledge: The series involves many aspects of calligraphy creation, and the author provides concise explanations and introductions.
3. Practicality: Books on calligraphy creation are not only scarce but mostly published individually, with relatively thin content and lacking a systematic structure, failing to meet the broader creative needs of learners. However, this series, whether in its overall planning or in its writing style, emphasizes this aspect, enhancing its practicality. The "Collected Gems" appended at the end serve as themes and examples for everyone to use during creation. The series includes "Aphorism Volume," "Poetry Volume," and "Couplet Volume," each written in six calligraphic styles—Seal Script, Clerical Script, Wei Stele Script, Tang Regular Script, Running Script, and Cursive Script—and comprises 3 sets of 20 volumes in total. Each volume contains carefully selected historical aphorisms, poems, and couplets, allowing learners to choose based on their preferences and calligraphic styles.
