Features: Mi Fu (1051-1107), styled Yuanzhang, was originally from Taiyuan and later settled in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. He is known as "Mi Nan Gong" and "Mi Xiangyang" in the world. Mi Fu extensively studied the works of the "Two Wangs," Yan, Liu, Ou, and Chu, following a path of integrating ancient styles while seeking innovation in calligraphy. His brushwork was swift, with the tip of the brush spreading in eight directions, creating dynamic variations as it entered the paper. He called his style "brushing characters." His structures often leaned diagonally upwards, with varying sizes, exuding a natural, spontaneous, and bold charm. This book explains one hundred methods of calligraphic radicals in Mi Fu's style using the Mi-style grid. The book is divided into six parts: stroke introduction, radical introduction, single-character calligraphy, compound structures, collected-character works, and representative works. This book is suitable for calligraphy beginners of all ages to learn as an introductory guide.
