Features: This is a practical calligraphy collection that bridges the gap between calligraphy copying and creation for calligraphy enthusiasts. Collecting and compiling calligraphy into books has a long history. For example, the famous Tang Dynasty monk Huairong collected and compiled the Running Script of Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy, to create the "Holy Teaching Order." Under completely manual conditions at that time, the ability to achieve such exquisite carving and lifelike form and spirit reveals the artistic cultivation and meticulous effort of the collector, still leaving us in awe today. Many calligraphy enthusiasts, after experiencing calligraphy copying, are eager to try calligraphy creation. Due to the limitations of ancient stele and tablet texts, many collected calligraphy books focus on idioms, good sentences, and couplets, making it difficult to meet the calligraphy enthusiasts' desire for more extensive word creation. The Chinese Ancient Poetry Collection Calligraphy Series uses computer-assisted means to select and compile eighteen well-known Tang and Song Dynasty poems for readers to copy and create. It has the following features:
1. Selected model characters from the original stele are flipped to black and white, moderately enlarged, and locally corrected to retain the original stele style while giving a sense of ink traces, making it easier for readers to practice further copying.
2. For model characters that cannot be collected from the original stele, relevant radicals are selected from other characters in this book and reasonably combined according to the rules and charm of the original stele, ensuring coordination with existing collected characters and the entire work.
3. Some common calligraphy formats and basic knowledge of collected calligraphy and creation are selected as examples to help calligraphers better understand the basic methods of creation.
The collected calligraphy of ancient poems in Clerical Script is a collection of Clerical Script collected calligraphy of ancient poems based on the Han Shi Chen Stele.
