There are usually county, municipal and provincial levels.
There are also the following ways to join a calligraphy association:
First, you have participated in some calligraphy competitions and won prizes, which is the best way.
Second, you have a calligraphy association teacher to lead the door, that is, you can learn from the teacher or let them introduce you, which is the best way to introduce you. You can bring your own works to the county and city calligraphy associations, so that they can read the characters, and then join them.
If you want to join, the best way is to be introduced by someone, and finally, you can be sure that your handwriting is good. Of course, hobbies are the main thing. Generally speaking, counties and cities are good, and calligraphy associations above the provincial level are the most difficult, and China Calligraphy Association is even more difficult.
The requirements of the provincial calligraphers' association are:
1. Winning certificates of three calligraphy competitions organized by the provincial calligraphers' association;
2. Submit works in three scripts, which must contain regular script;
3. The certificates and works you provided are approved by the Calligraphers Association, and you can join them.
You can get the membership qualification by participating in exhibitions sponsored by China Calligraphers Association, such as National Exhibition, Newcomers' New Works Exhibition, Zhengshu Exhibition, cursive calligraphy exhibition, lettering exhibition, etc., and the calligraphy seminar organized by China Calligraphers Association.
The shortest way is that the competition sponsored by China Calligraphers Association means that there are only a few authoritative competitions every year, and you get a grade award, so you are eligible to join.
