This is a set of classic masterpieces worth owning for calligraphy lovers, including "Wang Xizhi Orchid Pavilion Preface", "Ouyang Xun Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription", "Chu Suiliang Yanta Sacred Preface", "Zhao Mengfu's Thousand-Character Essay", "Yan Zhenqing Duobao Pagoda Stele" and "Ninety-two Methods of Huang Ziyuan Regular Script" in 6 volumes.
This is a relatively complete and practical collection of calligraphy. It has had a great influence on later generations of calligraphers from ancient times to the present. It is not only suitable for beginners to practice calligraphy, but also for calligraphy enthusiasts to refer to and appreciate.
"Lanting Preface" has become a model and even a landmark in the world of calligraphy, and has been worshiped by calligraphers of all ages. No matter whether you live high in a temple or far away from the rivers and lakes, as long as you study and figure out calligraphy, you will ignore it.
"Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" was written by Ouyang Xun in his later years. It has a solemn appearance, sparse lines, and a slender structure, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Throughout the article, the charm is calm, turning danger into safety, and is thin and hard yet gentle.
The full name of "The Preface to the Holy Teachings of the Wild Goose Pagoda" is "The Preface to the Holy Teachings of the Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty", which is an excellent model for future generations to study Tang Kai script.
"Zhao Mengfu's Thousand-Character Essay" is written in real cursive, with gentle and round strokes, delicate, simple, quiet and dignified. It is intended to show people how to follow the law. It is considered to be an excellent model for beginners to get started with calligraphy.
"Yan Zhenqing's Duobao Pagoda Stele" is an excellent tablet. Those who learn about Yan and Ti in later generations will be willing to start from this stele and learn about its secrets.
"Ninety-Two Methods of Regular Script by Huang Ziyuan" is Huang Ziyuan's famous work. It is Huang's experience in copying the "Ninety-two Methods of Summary of Interframe Structure" written by Shao Ying, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty (Jinshi in the 49th year of Qianlong's reign). The experience was transformed into formulas, supplemented by the explanation of the characters, thus becoming a precious enlightenment script for beginners of calligraphy.
