I believe my answer will be useful to you:
1. If you want to learn running script well, you must have a basic foundation in regular script! However, you can practice two fonts at the same time. Running script is a "walking regular script". Therefore, if you don't understand the succession and transition of regular script strokes, it will be difficult to practice good running script! The selection of posts in running script is very good! No beginner can learn the theory of kings! But don’t do it day and night. In your case, study the Holy Orders to a certain level and then practice Lanting for at least three to five years!
2. The way to learn calligraphy is to be persistent. Don’t take refuge in simplicity just because you are not satisfied with learning calligraphy at the beginning. It’s best to practice hanging elbows! Not difficult! Just wait and see! Practicing hanging elbows will broaden your path to study without being limited by posture!
3. There is no quantitative way to practice calligraphy. If you focus only on time or the number of words or paper, you will not be able to concentrate on the calligraphy! The way to solve this problem is: you need to be clear about what you want to practice when practicing calligraphy! Step one: look alike! Second: Similarity! Third: rules of thumb! Fourth: Move Qi! Step by step, even if you only write one word every day, if you can copy the form and spirit of this word, the harvest will be huge! Sometimes you don’t have to pick up the pen. You can also spend time “reading the post” and pondering the artistic conception. Occasionally, if you have a clear understanding, it’s not too late to pick up the pen!
4. How many words have been said, no need to repeat them. Unsatisfactory calligraphy is related to a weak foundation in regular script. This is especially true when it comes to pointillism. Only if you can master the center strokes in regular script, it is not difficult to write!
5. This is a common confusion among beginners, so don’t worry. Take your time! The first thing you need to do before studying is to understand the order of strokes and the Gu Pan response in running script before you can start copying. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Just follow one path first and then you will be able to understand by referring to the same calligraphy of other calligraphers in the future. Cheerful, of course, you can refer to it now, but don't be disturbed by it. Since you worship the king's sect, you should follow the master's writing style! This is very important!
6. This question has been answered. You can practice Lanting, but you have to choose a copybook, and don’t change it easily until the practice is very good! Let me say it again, calligraphy is precious and eternal, but it will never be achieved without it! Only when you can calm your mind and endure loneliness can you understand the true meaning of art!
