This scholarly volume presents annotated translations of two foundational Chinese texts on the art of calligraphy: Sun Qianli’s seventh-century 'Shu pu' and the thirteenth-century 'Xu shu pu'. Through meticulous analysis and historical context, Chang Ch'ung-ho and Hans H. Frankel illuminate the aesthetic theories and technical principles that have defined East Asian brushwork for centuries. The work serves as an essential resource for understanding the evolution of calligraphic practice and critical discourse.
