How to start self-learning brush calligraphy? How to choose copybook and brush? Thank you, I have no foundation.

1. If there is no foundation, it is suggested to find a book about the introduction of calligraphy first, and have a preliminary understanding of the history of calligraphy, representative figures in past dynasties, representative books, the characteristics of various fonts, and the relevant knowledge of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

2. Then choose the font according to your hobbies. It is generally suggested to start with regular script, but many experts in modern times think that we can start with official script.

3. After choosing a good font, choose who to practice, that is, choose posts. Regular script is suggested to be selected from Yan Zhenqing (Li Yanqin Monument or Duobaota Monument) and Liu Gongquan (Xuantami Monument), but Ou Yangxun and Zhao Mengfu are not recommended. Lishu suggested starting with Yi Ying Bei.

4. After the position is selected, it is suggested to purchase the basic courses of this position from JD.COM. Com or Dangdang. For example, the series "Basic Course of Calligraphy for Famous Monuments and Posts" is good.

The choice of brush varies according to the font you practice. It is suggested that Yang Hao, the center, change to a long-term Yang Hao after his pen control ability is improved.
