What copybooks are suitable for girls to practice calligraphy?
Let’s start with a list:
Ancient post group:
Small regular script: Jiang Kui's "Postscript to Wang Xian's Nanny"
Wen Zhengming's "Ten Records of the Thatched Cottage" and "Qin Fu"
Zhao Mengfu's "The Biography of Ji An" and "The Biography of Xianxie Gong"
Zhong Shaojing's "Lingfei Jing", Wang Xizhi's "Huang Ting Jing" and "Dongfang Shuo's Portrait Praise Stele"
Yu Shinan's "Preface to the Theory of Destroying Evil"
Zhao Ji's thin gold-style "Thousand-Character Essay" and "Meng Fang's Poems"
Ouyang Xun's "Thousand-Character Essay in Running Script"
Lu Jianzhi's "Wen Fu"
Wang Xizhi's "Preface to Orchid Pavilion"
Today’s post group: Shen Yinmo, Tian Yingzhang, Gu Zhongan, Lu Zhongnan, Wu Yusheng, Jing Xiaopeng
1. Jiang Kui's "Postscript to Wang Xian's Nanny Note"
2. Wen Zhengming's "Ten Records of the Thatched Cottage"
3. Wen Zhengming's "Qin Fu"
The first time I heard about "Qin Fu" was because a friend posted this post, and I was amazed at the time! Moreover, "Qin Fu" was written when he was 74 years old. It's so beautiful!
4. "The Biography of Ji An" by Zhao Mengfu
Quoting Ni Zan (a painter from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty): "Zi'ang's small regular script has a beautiful structure and powerful brushwork. He is truly worthy of the people of the Sui and Tang Dynasties."
In fact, there are many ancient texts that meet the requirements, such as Chu Suiliang's "Preface to the Holy Religion of the Wild Goose Pagoda" and "Ni Kuan Zan", Wang Xizhi's "Le Yi Lun", Wang Xianzhi's "Thirteen Lines of Luo Shen Fu", etc.
