There are many learners who can write for several hours a day when they are interested, but they are too lazy to move for a few days when they are not interested, fishing for three days and surfing the Internet for two days. This is a taboo in learning any subject, and of course learning calligraphy is no exception. Practicing calligraphy requires serious study and hard practice every day. Famous calligraphers in the history of China, such as Zhang Zhi in the Han Dynasty and Wang Xizhi in the Jin Dynasty, all have the legend of "Mo Chi" spread to later generations. It was not built in a day. So the effect of practicing every day is definitely much better than practicing one day a week.
Second, avoid looking at things and thinking in different ways.
There are five forms of calligraphy: seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. Most people think that beginners should be based on regular script, but some people think that they should learn official script. Moreover, there are too many calligraphers in China with different styles and strengths. Once you learn calligraphy, you must persist in learning it for three to five years. When you have learned enough, you can get a post and a word, and then you can change the font. Changing copybooks at two ends every three days is a taboo for learning calligraphy. Before one brushwork is mastered, learning another brushwork becomes a hodgepodge. Can't learn anything well.
Third, avoid professionalism.
Some people set up a calligraphy studio and shut themselves up after making small achievements in writing. From then on, they only wrote, did not work, and did not care about the world. Under normal circumstances, people who take this route will basically walk into a dead end. Things go too far in the world, things go too far, and calligraphy is no exception. Calligraphy cannot exist independently from real life.
Fourth, avoid impetuousness.
Calligraphy is a course of self-cultivation, which was used by the ancients to cultivate self-cultivation, which is what we now call "ceramic feelings". Learning calligraphy, the most taboo impetuous, restless. If adults are not sure about learning calligraphy, they can't settle down and wait for death, so the learning effect is hard to be good and the improvement is slow. Practicing calligraphy can't be learned overnight, it needs perseverance and unremitting efforts! Only by enduring loneliness and learning from the ancients can we inherit the tradition and innovate!
