Features: Six scripts, encompassing the fundamental calligraphic styles of Chinese characters.
Regular script (Kai Shu) is the standard typeface, serving as the foundation for recognizing characters and learning calligraphy. Seal script (Zhu Shu) is the ancestor of calligraphy, embodying rich cultural spirit. Clerical script (Li Shu) is the simplified form of Chinese characters and a leap in artistic evolution. Cursive script (Wei Shu) is a specific stylistic variation of writing from a particular era. Running script (Cao Shu) is an exaggeration and transformation based on the simplification of characters, representing the crystallization of both practical and artistic functions in calligraphy.
Hobbies may vary from person to person, but to fundamentally master the basics of calligraphy, one must be exposed to all six scripts. This not only expands artistic tastes but also cultivates aesthetic sensibilities and accumulates knowledge about the evolution of Chinese characters. "The pen carries the way, and calligraphy expresses emotions." A fine manuscript paired with a renowned calligrapher complements each other.
"Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple"—seven booklets, each selected with content that will be both necessary and interesting for any calligraphy practitioner to read.
