Masters on Masterpieces of Chinese Calligraphy (English Edition): Appreciating Great Works & Their Stories

Essays by Calligraphers Like Qigong, Liu Tao & Ouyang Zhongshi on Works by Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan & Others — A Guide to Appreciation, Not a Systematic History
This English-language collection brings together essays from Chinese Literature and History magazine, written by renowned calligraphers and scholars including Qigong, Liu Tao, and Ouyang Zhongshi. Rather than a systematic history of Chinese calligraphy, it focuses on specific masterpieces and the stories behind them: Wang Xizhi’s calligraphic art, Yan Zhenqing’s Draft of a Requiem to My Nephew, Wang Xianzhi’s Mid-autumn Letter, Liu Gongquan, Zhao Mengfu, Wu Changshuo, Zheng Banqiao, and more. It also explores topics like steles and rubbings, feibai script, wild cursive, and the influence of Zen on calligraphic style. If you want to understand why these works matter and how to appreciate them—rather than study calligraphy as a chronological system—this is it.
