I want to learn official script now, and I have no foundation in calligraphy. Should I start with regular script or official script?
The ancients said: "Perseverance, no learning, no skill". If you like learning official script very much, this is the best starting point. It is suggested that we should start from Cao Quanbei and keep practicing until we feel that all the words in the copybook are almost the same, and then turn to other inscriptions, such as Shi Chenbei and Yiying Monument. It will be a great success to transfer to the official script of the Qing Dynasty and then merge with the official script of today. After you think that the foundation of official script has been laid, turn to regular script, running script, cursive script, etc. , so that the door of calligraphy will open for you. Wish you success!
