Calligraphy fonts can be roughly divided into seal script (big seal script/small seal script), official script (Qin Li/Han Li), regular script (or official script/original script), running script (running script/cursive script) and cursive script (Cao Zhang/modern Cao/crazy Cao).
In daily life, regular script and running script are widely used, among which running script is the most important. Running script is the rapid writing of regular script, which has the characteristics of stretching and flowing without losing its correctness and stability, and is deeply loved by the public.
The following suggestions are for your reference:
1. The evolution of calligraphy fonts has certain rules, and calligraphy pays attention to basic skills. In principle, we must practice regular script and have a solid foundation. Practice other fonts with half the effort. As far as hard-pen calligraphy is concerned, if you just want to write better to meet the needs of exams or work, then you can practice running script directly. Running script is very practical and relatively easy to use.
2. China has a long history of calligraphy, especially calligraphy. No matter what font you practice, copy it! So it is very important to choose a copybook that suits you. What is a copybook that suits you? Is that you look pleasing to the eye, comfortable and like copybooks. It is suggested to copy Yan Zhenqing's Yan tablet, Duo tablet and Liu Gongquan's mysterious tablet. Hard-pen calligraphy can copy or Pang Zhonghua's copybook. Remember: take the position as the center and avoid frequent job changes.
3. Don't practice blindly, learn to read posts first, that is, look at the basic brushwork and structure of the model essay, know the weight, speed, start and put pen to paper, and then form a "feel" through continuous practice, and then strengthen and form your own style.
4. Be sure to keep practicing every day without interruption! The so-called calligraphy practice focuses on "practice" and perseverance! Beginners must keep practicing every day, not less than one hour a day. This hour must be practiced attentively, and it can never be regarded as the completion of the task. Stick to it for a month, and it will have a small effect, but it will only have a small effect! As long as you keep practicing, you will make continuous progress!
5. Novices are advised to paint red before posting.
