Features: Practicing Mi Fu's calligraphy, you can follow the book, or follow the evolution of Mi Fu's calligraphic style and progress step by step. Beginners should not start with "Shu Su" or "Tao Xi" immediately. It is recommended to choose Mi's early work "Fangyuan An Ji" as a model, which was created in Yuanfeng 6 (1083 AD) when Mi Fu was 33 years old. This stele has the style of "Shengjiao Xu," being calm, elegant, and classical. It serves as a basic foundation for the next step of practicing calligraphy. The second stage can directly take "Tao Xi" and "Shu Su" as model texts to broaden your horizons. Mi's letters often resemble a chef carving meat with effortless skill, with the collected works such as "Qing Si Tie," "Xie Zhong Tie," "He Zhu Tie," and "Zijin Yan Tie" reaching a realm no less than "Shu Su" and "Tao Xi." The techniques in these works are no longer deliberately crafted but rather the gentle overflow of the calligrapher's life awareness, fully reflecting Mi Fu's individual characteristics.
