增加支持压感，书写更加随心所欲。 ----------------- 本作包括《草圣千文》《符号凡例》《部首索引》《疑似字表》和《每日一字》五个部分。并可点选某字,加以临习。 于右任先生在《标准草书》自序中说他自己“中年学草,每日仅记一字,两三年间,可以执笔。此非妄言,实含至理,有志竟成,功在不舍”。愿以此方便后之学人效仿之。 于右任先生早在二十年代末期,他就开始研究草书,致力于草书标准化、规范化的工作。作为一个爱国主义者,于先生痛感祖国文字书写费时,识难用迟,作为书法的草书,草法多样,学用皆难,历来推而不广,与社会需要很不适应,于是,便在一九三二年集合了有志于草书改革的同仁在上海创立了标准草书社。于先生亲自主持和领导草书社,将历代草书做了一番系统的整理和总结。正如于先生所说:“所谓标准,是拿古人的草书做标准的,是从先古圣哲千余年的演进当中,归纳出来有条不紊,易识、易写、准确、美丽的草法”。 因此,“广草书于天下,以求制作之便利,尽文化之功能,节省全体国民之时间,发扬民族传统之利器,岂非当今急务欤!” 。于是确立“易识、易写、准确、美丽”之四原则,以《千字文》为底本,在历代草书法帖中选字,“唯期以众人之所欣赏者,还供众人之用。并期经此整理,习之者由苦而乐,用之者由分立而统一,此则作者唯一希望也”。 其他系列作品還包括《臨帖之柳體楷書》《臨帖之顏勤禮碑》《草書連連看》《集王羲之書聖教序》《 欧阳询行书千字文》等。

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 標準草書 at 5.0 against ePen's 4.0. 標準草書 also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). ePen's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (91% vs 70%). On ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

標準草書 costs $1.99 and ePen $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
標準草書 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively.

標準草書 ships an update every 10 months, ePen fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
