It uniformly arranges and writes 3,500 common characters in stroke order. The workbook presents both regular script and running script in a comparative format. Regular script is the fundamental style of Chinese characters, characterized by neat forms, standardized strokes, and rigorous structure, serving as the foundation for practicing well-written Chinese. Running script is a fast and simplified form of regular script, with lively forms, smooth strokes, and convenient writing, making it the most widely used style in learning and daily work. The regular script in this workbook strictly follows standardized stroke writing, aiming to provide model copies for primary and secondary school students and beginners in Chinese calligraphy, helping them write Chinese characters correctly, neatly, and aesthetically. The running script is based on regular script forms, incorporating running script stroke techniques, creating a natural transition from regular to running script. This facilitates readers in practicing and mastering running script, making it easier to write legible, orderly, fluid, and beautiful characters. Additionally, each character in the workbook is annotated with Pinyin, aiding beginners in learning. The author is a member of the China Calligraphers Association and has won first prize eight times in national calligraphy competitions.
