Once you have mastered the basic form and writing method of pointillism, no matter how the strokes of the characters in the copybook change, they will always remain the same. It will be easy to grasp the essentials when copying and learn its shape and spirit. Regular script is the basic skill of learning calligraphy. It is advisable to start with regular script when learning calligraphy. The ancients once had such an analogy: regular script is like standing, walking is like walking, and grass is like walking. It means that just as people must first learn to stand before they can learn to walk or run, only with the foundation of regular script can they write running script and cursive script well.
