Features: Chinese calligraphy has a long history, faithfully recording the evolution of Chinese characters while showcasing infinite artistic charm. Chinese calligraphy encompasses numerous scripts and styles, with Clerical Script being one of the important ones. Early Clerical Script evolved from Seal Script and entered its flourishing period during the Eastern Han Dynasty. This book takes the Yiying Stele as a model, striving to be clear, straightforward, and progressive, enabling learners to master the writing techniques in a relatively short time. The editor deliberately retains subtle variations in brushwork and some intricate details that are hard to notice without careful observation, reflecting the original stele's style, which is a key feature of this book.
