Features: This series of calligraphy practice books integrates "reading," "writing," "learning," and "playing" to inherit and promote China's excellent historical and cultural heritage. It specifically selects 140 classical Chinese poems designated by the Ministry of Education's "New Curriculum Standards" as primary and secondary school students' "must-learn" poems for calligraphy practice.
In line with the Ministry of Education's "Calligraphy Teaching Outline," which emphasizes the importance of calligraphy instruction and the progressive approach to learning, this series of practice books:
- Designates the primary school section for regular script (Kai Shu) practice,
- And the secondary school section for running script (Xing Shu) practice.
Primary and secondary school students can enhance their memory of classical Chinese poetry by practicing calligraphy while reading, achieving the goal of "writing with a pen, reading along, learning poetry through practice, and mastering calligraphy and poetry."
To facilitate students' reading, the poems are arranged by grade level. To aid comprehension, the book includes introductions and annotations. To spark students' interest in traditional culture, each practice book comes with a set of cartoon stickers. To prevent vision deterioration in adolescents, the best eye-protective colors are used in the printing process.
To improve students' artistic appreciation, the covers and back covers of the practice books feature the ancient Chinese masterpiece "Along the River During the Qingming Festival." Connecting the covers and back covers of the eight books forms a complete "Along the River During the Qingming Festival."
Primary and secondary school students are in their growth and development stage. In designing the covers of this series of practice books, the following color schemes were chosen based on their natural tendencies:
- Lower primary school covers feature bright colors to appear lively,
- Upper primary school covers feature calm colors to appear fresh,
- Junior high school covers feature light colors to appear elegant.
These practice books are arranged in a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing manner, giving them a high-end look.
This series of practice books, meticulously planned by Huaxia Publishing House, is truly thoughtful in its design and can be considered the best combination among all calligraphy practice books. These books are well-edited, catering to the needs of primary and secondary school students at every turn. They are refined, gathering the essence in one place. They are worth buying, as they are full of treasures. They are ingenious, filled with fun at every step.
Each sheet of these practice books has a transparent cover for calligraphy practice. After use, the transparent sheet can be removed and used as a model for further practice. Additionally, these sheets can serve as an excellent collection of classical Chinese poems for appreciation and reading. The introductions and annotations for each poem will become your lifelong companions, helping you deepen your understanding of the profound meaning and charm of classical poetry through calligraphy practice.
Pang Zhonghua, the author, personally wrote the preface for this series, advocating his "happy calligraphy practice method." To enhance students' appreciation skills, the back cover features winning works from the National Primary and Secondary School Calligraphy Competition.
