What should I do if I want to learn Zhao Mengfu's Zhao Ti characters without a foundation in calligraphy? Can you practice by yourself without a teacher?

First of all. Zhao Ti is fine. But it is not recommended to go to Zhao Ti directly, because it is difficult. Get dressed. Put your hands on it. Although there is a saying now that Yan Xi will write people rigidly, it will be difficult to get up and down in the future. Personally, I think Yan's "Sacrifice to a Nephew" is also a cursive script, or the second running script in the world, and Yan's body will not write dead people. When the book association was training, a tutor said a sentence, which I remember very well: learn from the past to serve the present and learn from the statutes. In fact, the book score itself is the only way to exercise the brushwork, and it is also a rare book theory. I suggest you watch your studies.

Besides, I want to learn China's calligraphy. I think tools are necessary. A few slightly better brushes (guns are not good, what are you shooting? ). As for the first paper, you can use paper with raw edges. In fact, even if you use rice paper as a post in the future, the reason is very simple. If you are not particularly familiar with it, only these papers will make you write seriously. No inkstone is needed. Two white plates, one Su Mo and one color, much better than the inkstone. The felt is black and won't be too dirty. The paperweight needs to be put down. I can also decide to do other things by myself. For example, I'm usually disposable cups.

It is strongly recommended to find a teacher, who must be at least one member of the Municipal Calligraphers Association. It's really hard to feel for yourself.
