What is calligraphy?
What are the differences between calligraphy and pen writing?
How to appreciate this form of art with thousand years?

Calligraphy is the most familiar cultural totem for Chinese people. Calligraphy appreciation consists of two parts: authentication and appreciation. As defined by ZHANG Chou, a collector and litterateur in Ming Dynasty, in his Qing Ming Paintings and Calligraphy Collection, “appreciation is to select the better ones, while authentication is to distinguish authentic works from fake ones ”For the beginners, both appreciation and authentication are difficult and require years of practice. However, if we set our mind on the appreciation techniques and skills, calligraphy will not be mysterious any more. As a Chinese saying goes “You will be able to identify a good sword after observing thousands of swords; you will be adept at music after practicing thousands of songs” it is also true in calligraphy appreciation. There is no other way to improve your appreciation ability but read, write and observe more.

This book includes more than 100 calligraphy works over the past dynasties with exquisite illustrations and rich contents. From the basic knowledge about calligraphy to technique practice, from the development history of calligraphy to the in-depth analysis on renowned stele inscription and copybook of calligraphy, from brush calligraphy to fountain pen calligraphy, all of those are covered in this book. It is a highly practical book in appreciation as well as calligraphy education. With simple language and clear classification of different calligraphy, this book is deemed as a suitable book for college students.
