What do you mainly study in calligraphy?

Learning calligraphy must master basic learning methods, including learning to use a pen, learning to practice, learning to observe, learning to appreciate and learning to feel. Calligraphy majors mainly study seal script, official script, regular script, seal cutting, cursive script, ancient Chinese, China's calligraphy history, creative practice and an introduction to calligraphy appraisal, and master the basic theories, knowledge and skills of calligraphy.

If you are a beginner in calligraphy, I suggest you start with regular script, which is the basis of learning calligraphy. If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools first. Beginners need to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone first, and attach copybooks.

First, the pen: the choice of pen is very important, the compatibility of wolf hair and wool (double brush), the length is moderate.

Second, ink: Compared with pens, the choice of ink is wider, just take ink, but it must be mixed with water when it is used, otherwise it will stagnate and it will not be good for the pen-making industry.

Third, paper: Xuan paper is the best choice for practicing calligraphy, and the price is not expensive. But the usual edge paper is also ok, mainly used for practice, and the price is cheaper than rice paper.

4. inkstone: just use a small dish for inkstone. You don't need to pay attention when you start learning, you don't need to buy anything too professional, and it's convenient to wash it after writing.

Wool felt: put wool felt under the paper to avoid soiling the table.

Six, copybook calligraphy must learn regular script first, this is the foundation, you can practice Yan Zhenqing and Ou Yangxun, as long as it is regular script, you must not be impatient to learn calligraphy, you must start from the most basic, you can't say that we like running script, which is not good for beginners, remember.
