The evolution of calligraphy has gradually evolved from Oracle Bone Inscriptions to Xiao Zhuan, Li Shu, regular script, running script and cursive script. The brushwork of seal script, whether it is big seal script or small seal script, is relatively simple, and there are some changes in Li Shu, and it tends to be perfect after regular script.
For beginners, if they want to learn China's calligraphy, they must master the application and changes of various brushwork, and not be too rigid. Only by mastering and skillfully using them can we appreciate all kinds of subtle differences and master the true essence of calligraphy.
Because beginners don't have the foundation of calligraphy, if they can't even reach the basic horizontal and vertical, it will not be worth the loss to pursue the so-called simplicity and simplicity of calligraphy.
If you want to practice calligraphy, regular script is the basic skill, just like a martial artist wants to practice Zama Bu. The horizontal, vertical, structure and strength required by regular script are the most basic requirements for practicing calligraphy. After mastering these requirements, practicing other calligraphy styles will get twice the result with half the effort.
Regular script combines the characteristics of various calligraphy styles, both the simplicity of seal script and the agility of cursive script. If someone thinks that the writing style of regular script is monotonous, without the roundness of seal script and official script, without the agility of running script and cursive script, it can only show that his regular script has not been practiced at home.
Regular script can also be integrated into other calligraphy styles. If you master the essentials of regular script, you can practice other calligraphy styles.
