As the ancients said, "Copying calligraphy is easy to lose the original's spatial arrangement but easy to grasp its brushwork; tracing calligraphy is easy to capture the original's spatial arrangement but easy to lose its brushwork. Copying is easier to advance, while tracing is easier to forget." Only by combining copying and tracing can one learn from both and achieve a balance of form and spirit. This book is a practical model copybook that integrates these methods. It is recommended that readers first trace the characters on thin paper, then practice them several times on their own paper, and finally trace the black characters with a red pen to reinforce the effects of copying and tracing. Through repeated practice and perseverance, one will naturally achieve harmony between mind and hand, cultivating a skillful and satisfactory handwriting.
