Features: Calligraphy is a national treasure of China and has numerous enthusiasts. With the improvement of people's material and cultural lives, the number of people learning calligraphy has been increasing by millions each year, gradually becoming popular among children and young people. More and more elderly people are also joining the ranks of learning calligraphy. Learning calligraphy can not only enhance one's cultural refinement and aesthetic taste but also serve as a form of physical exercise. Therefore, calligraphy has become a new symbol for people pursuing a high-quality life. As is well known, the best time to start learning calligraphy is from a young age. Cultivating an interest in calligraphy at an early age can influence a calligrapher's entire life. Therefore, we have compiled this series of "Children's Calligraphy Stele and Inscription Teaching" books, hoping to provide primary school students with a more standardized introduction to calligraphy. This series is arranged in several parts, including holding the brush, using the brush, structure, composition, copying exercises, creative knowledge, and appreciation of original works. For beginners, it is a step-by-step process. Considering that some young readers may have difficulty with non-simplified characters, we have marked the corresponding simplified characters below the traditional and variant characters to facilitate beginners. The regular script selected in this series is represented by Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Ou Yangxun, and Zhao Mengfu. Their regular script calligraphy has become the preferred choice for later generations of students and calligraphy enthusiasts to copy and study. For clerical script, we have chosen the "Zhang Qian Stele" and the "Cao Quan Stele," which represent the two styles of robust and solemn versus elegant and flowing, serving as typical models for learning clerical script. For running script, we have selected the works of Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy, and Mi Fu, known as the "Sage of Song Dynasty Running Script." Readers can recognize, understand, and learn about Chinese calligraphy art from these classic steles and inscriptions.
