Methods of practicing hard pen calligraphy;
First of all, we need to improve our aesthetics. You can look at the works of calligraphers, broaden your horizons and find out where the gap between yourself and them is.

This requires more writing and practice at ordinary times, more observation and comparison after writing, and more thinking about how to write better.
