Copybook
Copybook (zì tiè) is a model for people who want to learn calligraphy to copy. They are mostly stone rubbings, woodcuts or photocopies of famous calligraphy.
Copybooks are sometimes used when children are practicing literacy and getting familiar with glyphs, and have the function of shaping fonts. Copybooks are divided by fonts and can be divided into regular script, cursive script, running script, official script, seal script and other fonts.
Origin of copybook: Famous ancient calligraphy works were all engraved on stone tablets. In order to copy their calligraphy, later generations would tap the words on the stone tablets with paper and then copy and write them.
