At present, what level should a calligrapher reach before he can be called a calligrapher?

There are many people studying calligraphy now, but you still need to work hard to become a calligrapher. I think there are the following aspects that need to be achieved.

First, form your own calligraphy style. There are many people who study calligraphy in China every year. If you want to stand out, you must have your own style. Especially after becoming a calligrapher, this calligraphy style is unique to oneself and will become a business card to the outside world. However, my unique calligraphy style can't be practiced overnight. In the process of learning calligraphy at the beginning, I always copied some other people's calligraphy works to master some calligraphy writing skills, but in the long run, I always copied other people's calligraphy works, no matter how well I wrote, I could not surpass the original calligraphy. Therefore, the most important thing is to integrate the calligraphy you understand on this basis. A good calligrapher can appreciate his unique style and see the calligrapher's personality in his works.

Second, a solid foundation in calligraphy. If you want to develop a solid foundation of calligraphy, you must rely on your own efforts, and you can't do it overnight. A solid foundation of calligraphy is also one of the important elements to reach the calligrapher's realm. It is very important to write calligraphy well, because it can add advantages to your calligraphy works. But if you want to practice a solid foundation of calligraphy, you need not only solid theoretical knowledge, but also the technical skills of various calligraphy styles. Those who need to practice calligraphy should study hard.

Third, calligraphy should have perseverance. The most important thing in learning calligraphy is the attitude towards calligraphy. At first, you may be involved in the camp of learning calligraphy because of your personal hobbies, but becoming a master of calligraphy is a long-term process. The enthusiasm for learning brought by interest cannot support our long-term love for calligraphy, so we should have the spirit of perseverance and let ourselves better devote ourselves to learning calligraphy.
