The most important thing is to improve your aesthetics and your views and opinions on words. Aesthetics determines your upper limit, so this is very important. In fact, many people wrote their own words, and then some people commented that it was Jianghu style, which may really feel a little sour, but I think Jianghu style is not that bad and it is worth mentioning. The reason for the controversy is that personal aesthetics are different, so I say that aesthetics determines the upper limit. If people who write about the Jianghu style improve their aesthetics or have a new feeling of epiphany, they will actually make a qualitative leap after hard training. Here, I want to emphasize again that improving personal aesthetics is the most important thing!
Prevent bad habits: find a teacher and learn from him. The premise is that you want to find a reliable teacher, not a charlatan. I dare to teach calligraphy at any level now. A good teacher can correct your mistakes in writing, teach you what the brushwork is, and point out your mistakes in time. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Only when a teacher makes a mistake can he correct it, so as not to make the same mistake in the future. In the process of practicing calligraphy, you can't just write and copy. At least, carefully analyze the writing and bookshelf structure of this word first.
At the same time, you can practice drawing red on thin paper first, but in the end you should practice it independently in your own calligraphy book. In the process of practice, some copybooks may not point out the characteristics of words and the structure of bookshelves, so you need to experience and summarize them yourself. Only by reading, practicing and summarizing can we know whether the radical composition and writing of a word can be used in other similar words. The shelf structure is basically written, and the characters are ok.
