Through this, learners of calligraphy not only achieve the goal of writing well but can also apply their skills in calligraphy practice and enter the realm of calligraphy creation.
To enable calligraphy enthusiasts to progress from basic to advanced levels in a systematic manner, ensuring correct stroke techniques, balanced structures, and aesthetically pleasing fonts, we have invited calligraphers with practical experience and achievements to compile this series, "Famous Calligraphers and Masterpieces: Calligraphy Analysis." Analysis of Yan Style Regular Script is based on the representative work Yan Qinli Stele by the renowned Tang Dynasty calligrapher Yan Zhenqing. It analyzes and explains the calligrapher's artistic characteristics, stroke techniques, structural composition, and layout in four aspects.
The content of this book is divided into four parts: First, it analyzes the calligrapher's artistic style and masterpieces. Second, it selects representative examples from the stele to explain stroke techniques and their characteristics. The stroke features of Yan-style characters are analyzed and explained in terms of starting points, ending points, strokes, and turns. Finally, precise and appropriate language is used to describe their features.
