I wonder, isn't cursive writing faster and the brushwork chic? Unfortunately, modern people read much more printed words than handwritten ones every day, and their ability to read cursive script has greatly deteriorated. Although the college entrance examination composition marking teacher is from China, he is not immune. He hopes that the answer sheet will be neat and the calligraphy will not be "too mature".
However, these neat and sloppy taboos are all because of the college entrance examination. Once the college entrance examination is over, it doesn't matter. Practice whatever you want.
As for which calligrapher to practice, go to the bookstore and turn over the brush copybook yourself. Brush calligraphy is written by ancient masters. Although they have different styles, they have all achieved great success. Using brush paste to build aesthetic feeling, the starting point will not be too low, otherwise it will be delayed by poorly written pen paste. After correcting the aesthetics, whether to practice writing brush or pen depends on your own needs.
People who were officials in ancient times had much better hands, even if they didn't have pioneering works, inventions or calligraphers. If we can see their original works from archaeological materials, we can see what style this person is studying, and we can see his character and aesthetic taste more deeply.
