In Mu Xin and Jiang Xun, calligraphy has been promoted to the height of life. So what exactly is calligraphy? Is it really that unattainable?
Such a professional question needs calligraphers to answer. Calligrapher Ke Kerang's Calligraphy Without Secrets tells readers that calligraphy is actually very common and anyone can learn it well by telling the history of calligraphy.

Write if you want.
Nowadays, successful people will choose to improve themselves by practicing calligraphy after their financial freedom. In the face of this phenomenon, Kirk Jean thinks that this is a very good thing in itself. Kirk Jean said that successful people are infatuated with calligraphy after their success, which is the feedback of social resources to calligraphy, making the breadth of calligraphy's influence on society all-encompassing and the depth of its penetration into society limitless.
People regain their calligraphy, just as they regain their love for life. When calligraphy is gradually divorced from daily social life, people first resent it, then feel lost, and then suddenly look back and find that our values and calligraphy have long been inseparable. Not one person, but the whole society is not satisfied with the existing modernization achievements, and needs to be more relaxed and happy after eating and drinking.

Bi Shumin's Seven Colors of Happiness As long as you feel that you are living for yourself, the world may change in your eyes. Why do you have to publish articles?

I bought a lot of books and a lot of copybooks, but many copybooks ended up quietly in the corner of the bookcase. Before that, I wondered if I lacked the perseverance to practice calligraphy. I didn't know that the way I learned calligraphy was completely wrong until I finished reading "Unscramble Calligraphy".
Calligraphy has no secrets tells us that not only a mortal like me, but also a calligrapher can't learn calligraphy through copybooks. Calligraphy must be learned from a teacher, and the choice of this teacher is very important, which directly determines your calligraphy level.
Calligraphy has no secret to tell us, and it is also important to meet good classmates and friends on the way to learning calligraphy.
People who write have their own circle of friends. Every circle has its own tastes and preferences. "Close to Zhu Zhechi, close to ink is black", and the choice of calligraphy circle of friends often determines a person's writing style, achievements, fame and so on, so Confucius said, "The benevolent is beautiful, and those who choose not to be benevolent do not know that Meng Mu has moved three times.
Kirk Jean said that without teachers, it is difficult for beginners to simply copy ancient calligraphy. First, it is easy to be fragmented and cannot be written. Second, it is sloppy and unable to go deep. However, this is not a problem that cannot be copied, but a problem that cannot be copied. On the way to learning calligraphy, good teachers and friends are indispensable.
After learning a certain level, I began to worry that my handwriting was too similar to others and I lost my personality. Kirk Jean explained this phenomenon, saying that people who haven't studied calligraphy occasionally try their hand at other people's posts, but they all seem to be worried about writing badly. Some people who specialize in calligraphy are not, and sometimes they worry that they will lose themselves if they write too much.
Sometimes, although we can't understand abstruse theories, abstruse theories sometimes seem like our humble ideas after all.
