What font should I start practicing calligraphy?

We can't generalize and need to discuss it in different situations: if you are a child, you should start practicing official script (regular script/seal script/official script); If you are an adult, you can start practicing from seal script or official script, because adult writing is already very fixed, and you don't use seal script in your daily life, so you can gain advantages and avoid disadvantages, gradually master the brushwork, and have the possibility of getting started.

1, regular script:

Regular script, the font name, is also called regular script, regular script, real script and official script. It gradually evolved from official script, becoming more simplified and more horizontal and vertical. This kind of Chinese character has the correct font and is a modern popular handwritten orthographic Chinese character.

2, seal script:

It is a font produced by quickly writing, decomposing the lines and strokes of Chinese characters into points, pens, strokes and strokes, and writing them in convenient positions.

3. Official script:

Li Shu, such as Qin Li and Han Li, is generally considered to be developed from seal script, with wide and flat font, long horizontal painting and short vertical painting, and paying attention to "swallow tail of silkworm head" and "twists and turns".

According to the unearthed bamboo slips, official script originated in Qin Dynasty, and Cheng Miao was also called official script. Han Li reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, inherited the tradition of seal script, and opened the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which had a great influence on later calligraphy. The calligraphy circle is known as "Tang Kai of Han Li".
