Features: This set of standard practice books and structural analysis books for the seven styles of regular script—Ou, Yan, Liu, Zhao, Su, Huang, and Tang—was first compiled by Mr. Liu Puqing (1900–1974), a distinguished Chinese printing and currency expert of the 20th century. Using over a decade of his spare time, he studied the principles of writing regular script efficiently and quickly based on the calligraphy theories of Chinese calligraphers. He combined the summarized calligraphy theory with representative works of regular script masters to compile and publish the standard practice books for the Ou, Yan, and Liu styles, as well as the structural analysis books for Liu-style regular script. After the [Cultural Revolution], his eldest daughter, Liu Lun, took over the publication of the books two years after their initial release. To date, the books have accumulated millions of copies in circulation and remain consistently popular among calligraphers and learners.
