----------------------------------------
你是否曾想像自己如书法大师一样挥毫呢？来试试吧，用你的手指在iPad和iPhone上练习毛笔书法。 

“活字帖”利用中国古代名家书法作品中的原笔迹，在你描摹或者临帖时绘制出来，使得你的书法效果能媲美真迹，让你体验如书法家一样的练字感受，更真切的感受书法的魅力。 

本作与现有大多数作品的最大区别在于，大多数现有的作品只是根据手指运行轨迹，用计算机计算模拟出类似于毛笔笔迹的效果。但是，因为触摸屏的限制，计算机再如何聪明，又如何能知道用户运笔时的轻重缓急，浓淡干湿呢？故本作规避了用笔技巧，着重于练习每个字的字体结构。因此，本作并不能代替笔墨纸砚的常规练字方法，但是却可以从一定程度上提高用户的书法水平。 

本App现有8个字帖:
- 兰亭集序（王羲之）
- 基本笔画（楷书四大家）
- 快雪时晴帖（王羲之）
- 南无阿弥陀佛（弘一法师）
- 秾芳诗帖（宋徽宗）
- 仲尼梦奠帖（欧阳询）
- 琴赋（文徵明）
- 般若波罗蜜多心经 (赵孟頫)

希望大家喜欢。

### 5/5 — 良い練習になります

*2023-08-06*

蘭亭序のなぞり書きを続けてみたら、筆運びや正しい筆順、緩急のイメージなどをよく理解できたので他の法帖も楽しんで続けていこうと思います。今後、顔真卿多宝塔碑や米芾蜀素帖、王铎、空海など出して欲しいです！ありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — 就是好

*2018-11-08*

绝对值，可以比较快掌握字体结构，零闲时间多练几次

### 2/5 — 强烈不满意。

*2018-11-06*

我是付费用户，凭什么还需要逐字解锁？我就是想练其中的某一些字，而不是全部。我是付费用户，我有选择的权利。还有软件中还有很多小功能，都需要解锁才可以用。那还掏什么钱？付什么费啊？

**Developer response:** 感谢这位用户的反馈，后续版本会考虑给付费用户更多特权（其实对比完整版和付费版，你会发现完整版对解锁功能所需的条件更为宽松）。
本App是以游戏闯关的形式进行设计的，目的是提高用户的使用热情，若事与愿违，还请见谅。
