Perfect for intermediate learners
I bought this to improve my running script. The analysis of signatures and seals helps me understand the composition better. Yang Dongsheng's commentary is clear and easy to follow.

Great content, fast shipping
The book arrived in perfect condition from this veteran store. The selection of inscriptions is comprehensive. I only wish there were slightly more color plates, but the black and white reproductions are still very sharp.

A treasure for collectors
Not just a practice book, but a beautiful reference. The attention to detail in reproducing the original ink textures is impressive. It feels like holding a piece of history.

Solid addition to my library
This is the third volume I've purchased in this series. Consistent quality and depth. The binding is sturdy enough to lay flat on the desk while practicing, which is a huge plus.

Essential for Zhao Mengfu students
The clarity of the ink traces in this volume is outstanding. As someone who has been practicing calligraphy for five years, I find the detailed breakdown of brush techniques incredibly helpful for understanding Zhao Mengfu's style.

High quality reproduction
Cultural Relics Press never disappoints. The paper quality is excellent for tracing, and the explanatory notes provide great historical context without being overly academic. Highly recommended for serious practitioners.
Q: What is the paper weight? Is it suitable for wet ink practice?
A: The pages are printed on high-quality, slightly thick matte paper designed to minimize bleed-through. While it is excellent for tracing with pencil or light ink, we recommend using a separate sheet of rice paper over the book for heavy wet ink practice to preserve the book.
Q: How does Volume 3 differ from Volumes 1 and 2 in this series?
A: While Volumes 1 and 2 cover other periods and calligraphers, Volume 3 focuses exclusively on the later works and specific inscriptions of Zhao Mengfu. It delves deeper into his mature style, offering a more specialized study compared to the broader overview in earlier volumes.
Q: Is the text in this book traditional or simplified Chinese?
A: The main calligraphy reproductions are in the original traditional characters as written by Zhao Mengfu. The explanatory notes and commentary by Yang Dongsheng are printed in Simplified Chinese.
Q: Does this book include full-color images or is it all black and white?
A: The book primarily features high-resolution black and white plates to emphasize ink density and brush strokes, which is standard for practice copies. However, it does include a section of color plates showing the seals and specific ink variations.
Q: Are the explanatory notes translated into English?
A: No, the explanatory notes, titles, and commentary are entirely in Chinese. This book is intended for readers who can read Chinese or are using it strictly for visual copying of the calligraphy characters.
