Features: We enthusiastically recommend this set of "Student Brush Calligraphy Copybooks." This series of copybooks has been newly compiled by Mr. Tian Yingzhang, a renowned calligrapher and calligraphy educator in China, in accordance with the relevant regulations of the national education department, the promotion of simplified and standardized characters, and the teaching requirements of dividing the primary school curriculum into three stages, the junior high school curriculum into one stage, and the entire nine-year compulsory education into four stages. This set of copybooks is divided into four stages, with a total of four books, each tailored to different stages with distinct content. As a large-scale series of common simplified-character brush calligraphy copybooks that align with the current national education regulations, its extensive character selection and high artistic level play a significant role in improving brush calligraphy skills. We believe it will bring great benefits and assistance to primary and secondary school students learning calligraphy, calligraphy instructors, as well as and researchers.
To preserve and promote the tradition of calligraphy while reflecting its unique artistic essence, this series still adheres to the principles and artistic characteristics of the calligraphic path in terms of writing methods and forms. As a calligraphy copybook, it meets the requirements of simplified and standardized characters while striving to enhance its artistic content and focus on the distinctive artistic style of calligraphy, avoiding mechanical copying of printed characters from computers. If this series were to be evaluated based on computer-printed characters, it would lose its significance.
Mr. Tian Yingzhang, the compiler of this series, possesses profound calligraphic skills and exquisite techniques. His calligraphy draws on the strengths of Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, and Zhao Mengfu while also possessing his own unique style. His artistic achievements and level hold an important position and influence in contemporary Chinese calligraphy.
In this series, the author provides professional explanations on brush calligraphy techniques and methods, making it more practical, specialized, and straightforward. In terms of content and form, it is highly suitable for primary and secondary school students, calligraphy instructors, and calligraphy enthusiasts and researchers for copying and teaching reference. It is an excellent textbook for schools, youth centers, and all calligraphy training institutions.
