This volume is Zhao Mengfu's regular script Qian Wen Zi. Zhao Mengfu (1254 ~ 1322) was born in Song Xue Road, Huzhou (now Xing Wu, Zhejiang). Wide knowledge, fine calligraphy and painting. "Yuan Shi" originally said that "Meng Zhi's calligraphy and calligraphy are the highest in ancient and modern times, so the name of the book is the world". His calligraphy is charming, elegant, neat and skillful, and is known as "Zhao Ti" internationally, which is an artistic peak in the history of China's calligraphy. Later generations spoke highly of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy: "For five hundred years, Wan Li had no books." His calligraphy is also very popular in Asian countries. Zhao Mengfu's running script and cursive script mainly learn from Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, and he is also "The Book of Proud Right Army" and "Preface to Lanting Collection", so "his body is close ... he got a big order". Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy is good at regular script and running script, and Qian Wen Zi is one of his representative works, which is highly praised by calligraphers in past dynasties. On calligraphy, Zhao Mengfu proposed: "There are two ways to learn calligraphy, one is brushwork, and the other is font. Exquisite brushwork, although good and evil; The shape is wonderful, although it is still cooked. Learning books can solve this, and then you can tell books. " He added: "It is beneficial to study books while pondering ancient calligraphy, and to know the meaning of using a pen." These conclusions can tell the true meaning of learning books and have a lot of enlightenment for future study.

In the process of writing, the editor also added pinyin to the original text of the thousand-character script, which catered to the characteristics of textbooks in previous dynasties from literacy to writing. In order to change the situation that people often only read, recite and write the original text, but often don't know the main idea of the original text, we also adopt a combination of literal translation and free translation to translate the original text sentence by sentence, so that ordinary readers can better understand the meaning of each sentence in the text, and then read and write the original text, which will make it easier to achieve mastery, effectively improve the level and cultivation of classical literature, and thus make Zhao Mengfu Regular Script Thousand Characters a multifunctional book.
