Self-study calligraphy should first understand these points.

If you are a beginner in calligraphy, I suggest you start with regular script, which is the basis of learning calligraphy. If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools first. As a beginner, you need to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone first, and attach a copybook.

first, pen: the choice of pen is very important, and it is compatible (doubled both brush) with a moderate length.

second, ink: compared with pens, the choice of ink is wider, as soon as you get Dege ink, but you must mix it with water when using it, otherwise it will delay the pen and be bad for the pen industry.

third, paper: Xuan paper is the best choice for practicing Chinese calligraphy, and the price is not expensive, but the usual fringed paper is ok, mainly used for practice, and the price is cheaper than Xuan paper.

fourth, inkstone: just use a small plate for inkstone. You don't need to be particular when you start learning, you don't need to buy anything too professional, and it's convenient to wash after writing.

5. Wool blanket: The wool blanket is put under the paper to avoid soiling the table.

six, copybooks learn calligraphy by learning regular script first. This is the foundation. You can practice Yan Zhenqing's or Ou Yangxun's, as long as it is regular script. You must never be impatient to learn calligraphy. You must start with the basics. You can't say that you like running script. It is not good for beginners. Remember.
