Features: The long and illustrious history of calligraphy art in our great motherland has been masterfully crafted by calligraphy luminaries such as the Two Wangs (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi), Yan, Liu, Ou, and Zhao. They have left behind countless timeless calligraphy masterpieces, providing our editorial team with a vast selection of works for compiling A Grand View of Calligraphy Masterpieces from the Ages. This series is monumental in scope, beginning with the "Sage of Calligraphy" Wang Xizhi and spanning from the Two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the early Republic of China. Over fifty enduring calligraphy masters have been selected, with their representative works compiled and published in chronological order. This volume features Wang Xianzhi's celebrated running script works such as Mid-Autumn Letter and Duck Head Pill, as well as his cursive script piece Sending Pears Letter. It also includes various versions of his regular script The and his running-cursive Chunhua Pavilion Collection in both Song and Gu carved editions.
