Wei Junxiu is a calligrapher in China who excels both in character and artistry. However, for a long time, his calligraphic achievements did not receive enough attention. It was only in the past two years, when he was in his nineties, that he attracted widespread attention from the world. The newly released "Wei Junxiu Volume" is one of the contemporary calligraphers' masterpieces series published by Hebei Education Publishing House, which invested heavily in its production. Wei Junxiu's inclusion in this series, which features only over twenty artists, demonstrates the status and significance of this elderly calligrapher in the Chinese calligraphy world. "Contemporary Calligraphers' Masterpieces: Wei Junxiu" is in an octavo format, with high-quality paper and a luxurious and elegant design. The book includes over 180 of Wei Junxiu's works, primarily in cursive and running scripts, with the earliest piece dating back to 1944.
