Do you have to learn regular script first to learn calligraphy?

Most people who learn calligraphy will start with regular script, which is the basic skill. The dictionary's explanation of regular script is that the font is square and the strokes are straight, so it is called regular script. Regular script is also the basis for learning several other languages. Regular script does not require smooth and continuous strokes like running script and cursive script (writing is fast, but the basic skills are not good, and the written words will float), nor does it require twists and turns like official script. Regular script is very good in Fiona Fang. It uses the center and writes slowly. It is very suitable for beginners. After learning regular script well, it will be easy to turn to cursive script and cursive script in the future.

Of course, you can learn official script first, but it seems a bit difficult to transfer official script and cursive script after learning official script.

I suggest learning regular script first, because sooner or later you have to learn running script, which is more practical than regular script ~
