Features: Liu Puqing, the first compiler of this set of standard practice books for regular script calligraphy in the styles of Ou, Yan, Liu, Zhao, Su, Huang, Tang, as well as the practice book for structure and composition, was an outstanding expert in printing and currency printing in China during the 20th century and a national chief engineer. He dedicated his life to the field of art printing and currency printing. Using over a decade of his spare time, he studied the principles of writing regular script efficiently and quickly based on the theories of Chinese calligraphers. He combined the summarized theories of regular script calligraphy with representative examples from calligraphers to compile and print the standard practice books for the Ou, Yan, and Liu styles, as well as the practice book for the structure and composition of the Liu style regular script. After the "Cultural Revolution," his eldest daughter, Liu Lun, continued her father's legacy and compiled additional standard practice books for other calligraphic styles. Since their public release in 1962, these practice books have sold tens of millions of copies and remain consistently popular among calligraphy enthusiasts and learners.
