Features: Pen Calligraphy Standard Character Standard Course is a series of books meticulously crafted by our press to teach you how to practice good standard pen calligraphy. It is suitable for beginners of pen calligraphy and also for calligraphy enthusiasts with some foundation. This series is written by renowned calligraphers in the field, featuring authoritative versions, rich content, and innovative layouts, making it a classic among similar calligraphy books. Its main features are as follows:
1. Comprehensive Script Styles: This series includes separate volumes for five script styles—Regular Script, Running Script, Clerical Script, Wei Stele Script, and Fangsong Script—allowing different calligraphy enthusiasts to choose the style they wish to practice. No matter how broad your interest in calligraphy, you are sure to find the right book in this series.
2. Systematic Content: Each volume provides detailed explanations of basic strokes, radicals, and single-character structures, along with numerous examples for practice through "practice one character in multiple ways" and "learn by example" methods. Readers can learn at their own pace and copy the provided examples. Thus, this book serves as both a quick-reference guide for practicing calligraphy and a teaching reference for calligraphy instruction.
3. Standardized Writing: The examples in the book lack obvious traces of brush calligraphy, avoiding traditional characters and variant forms. They are written entirely in practical standard characters, with classical poetry examples selected from the new curriculum standards for primary and secondary students to (memorize) seven-character quatrains. This facilitates the integration of calligraphy practice with learning and guides students in standardized Chinese character training.
4. Learning and Creation Combined: The layout of this series avoids monotonous basic exercises by combining the learning of fundamental techniques with the creation of calligraphy works. Each page includes single-character practice and overall writing exercises, allowing students to enjoy the joy of learning while creating.
5. Perfect Service: After purchasing this book, you are no longer learning calligraphy alone. We have built a bridge for you to connect with the author. You can use the blank space on the last page to showcase your calligraphy skills. You can mail your calligraphy practice pieces to the author (if you need a reply, don’t forget to include sufficient postage), and they will provide timely feedback to help you improve your writing skills.
