Therefore, when copying, we should give up the excessive similarity and precise pursuit of strokes and words, but copy the chapter layout, blank space, freehand brushwork and artistic conception of calligraphy works. In other words, it is to "draw a tiger according to a cat". At first glance, it looks very similar, but a closer look may be lacking.
Then, the method of meaning is to observe and carefully observe calligraphy works from the overall point of view, and then imitate them according to density, blank space, artistic conception and the weight of each word.
Of course, for everyone in calligraphy, it is often necessary to do immediate exercises. They may use their own style to copy other people's works, and then there will be an overall echo of style, personality and spirit.
For beginners, Lin Yi actually reduces the difficulty of copying some calligraphy works. Because people who write calligraphy understand that the strokes and structures of individual fonts are difficult to master and need long-term practice to achieve, so there is no need to be so strict with them. However, the sense of existence has played a great role. After understanding the style, artistic conception, blank space, layout and overall "qi" of calligraphy works, and practicing for a long time, calligraphy will be well written whether it is whole or partial.
Some humble opinions, I hope the answer can help you.
