Why is it ugly to practice calligraphy?

This problem is a phenomenon that every calligraphy practitioner will encounter. As for why you feel this way, your appreciation level has been improved with your investment in calligraphy practice, but it has not reached the level you want to write, that is, people usually say that your vision is superb but your writing level has been improved.

As a calligraphy lover, I, like you, will be complacent about my progress at first. After writing for a few days, you will feel that you have written very well. Then, with the improvement of my appreciation level and the progress of my writing, sometimes I suddenly find that my writing is so ugly that I don't even want to touch the pen again. This phenomenon will recur.

I really hope you can stick to it. After all, it is not easy to cultivate a hobby. Calligraphy is our national treasure. With the improvement of your writing level, it will bring you many benefits, such as calmness, composure, increased knowledge, health preservation and self-cultivation. Whether you are a boy or a girl, it can also improve your temperament and make you look like a book.

Besides, I'll take a wild guess. You are still practicing regular script (because most beginners will start with regular script, in order to exercise their patience and aesthetic control over font structure).

Let me give you some advice. If you have been practicing for a year or so, you can start practicing in small letters for a period of time, such as Ling Fei Classic, Wen Zhiming's poems on red walls, and Liu Gongquan's poems on Jiuyi Mountain. These are all masterpieces handed down from ancient times. Because small letters require precise font structure, you can fully master the font structure when you write regular letters in the future, so that progress will be faster.
