Calligraphy takes a lot of time. Is talent important?

Learning calligraphy takes time and talent. In short, time determines the lower limit and talent determines the upper limit.

Only Chinese characters can turn words into an art. In the long history of calligraphy, many famous calligraphers have emerged. We can actually know from them that it takes time and talent to learn calligraphy.

Most of those famous calligraphers are very diligent in calligraphy. For example, in Wang Xizhi's story, he was very diligent when practicing calligraphy, leaving behind "washing Mo Chi". Besides, his son Wang Xianzhi also practices calligraphy very diligently, every day, but even though he has spent a lot of effort, he is only "a little" like his father's story.

Stories like this are really endless. When Monk Zhiyong was in Yongxin Temple in Xing Wu, in order to practice calligraphy, he broke the brush heads of ten urns, each weighing several stones, and eventually became a generation of famous teachers, and people kept asking for calligraphy.

When he was a child, Liu Gong was able to write a good hand, and once held a "book club" with friends to show off his skills. It happened that a tofu seller saw it and said that his handwriting was not good, and some people wrote better with their feet. Xiao Gong's power was hit, so I decided to see for myself what the handwriting of the man who wrote with his feet was like. When he saw the handwriting of the man who wrote with his feet, he "plopped" and knelt down to worship him as a teacher, but the man only gave him a few words: "Write eight jars of water, and the inkstone will stain the pool black; When you win hundreds of parents, you will get a phoenix in Yi Long. "

All these stories tell us that we must work hard to write well. Those who have worked hard can at least write a beautiful "pavilion", which is the lower limit that takes time to reach.

However, it is not enough to spend time alone. How far a person can go depends on his talent.

Those great calligraphers, calligraphers who made breakthroughs, not only spent a lot of effort, but also had talents that others did not have.
