Features: This book combines the calligraphy practice of Tang poems with the text and writing of the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Epigraph of Sima Xianzi's Tomb." The "Epigraph of Sima Xianzi's Tomb" is exquisitely carved and inscribed, ranking as one of the superior epitaphs of its time. Liang Qichao praised it as "outstanding in boldness yet gracefully elegant," making it an excellent choice for beginners learning regular script. The book features 15 seven-character quatrains by Li Bai, Li Shangyin, Du Fu, and Du Mu, presented in scroll writing, single-character exercises, and the appreciation of poetic imagery. The blend of poetic sentiment and artistic beauty meets diverse needs for learning and appreciating traditional art. Additionally, the introduction of writing styles and the use of the millimeter grid system greatly facilitates learning for beginners.
