Chinese Calligraphy: Standard Script For Beginners.

This slim volume, first published in 2004, is written by a world-renowned calligraphy artist and teacher, who has been practising this 3,000-year-old art for over 40 years. Qu Lei Lei covers basics such as how to hold the brush and which tools and materials to use, while black-and-white photographs and illustrations demonstrate the dots and strokes that make up each calligraphic character.
