Features: To facilitate self-study of calligraphy among young people, our press has invited the renowned calligrapher Wang Huisong to compile this series of "Practical Calligraphy Tutorials by Famous Calligraphers." A distinctive feature of this series is the combination of theory and practice. Next to each stroke and radical in the characters, concise textual explanations are provided. These theoretical insights are condensed from the long-term writing experience and reflections of calligraphy masters. Written in accessible language, the tutorials allow readers to read, trace, and copy, guiding writing practice with theory while enabling readers to contemplate the theoretical aspects through tracing and copying exercises. This approach achieves a notably accelerated effect in calligraphy practice.
The series is printed using a tracing method, integrating three techniques: tracing, copying, and writing over the printed characters. Readers are advised to first trace the characters on transparent paper, then practice copying on their own paper, and finally write over the printed characters with a pen to reinforce learning. Through repeated practice, readers will naturally achieve harmony between mind and hand, cultivating a beautiful and elegant calligraphy style.
