it is certain to practice regular script first! As far as regular script is concerned, there are many kinds, among which: official script, Wei Bei, Tang Kai (which is usually referred to as regular script) are all regular scripts, and all horizontal and vertical ones are regular scripts, aiming at the rules of characters! If you don't focus on regular script, but practice practical pen-and-ink running script, just practice regular script until it is horizontal and vertical, and regular script is not too demanding! But if you don't practice at all, you can't write a good running script. It's a layman's word to say that official script is not regular script, and it's a ridiculous word in the calligraphy circle! I have been practicing calligraphy for dozens of years (both brush and pen). In ancient times, such as Mi Fei, a great calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, the running script was excellent! And regular script is not famous! There is no copybook, but it doesn't mean that he has never practiced regular script, but he is just unknown or not good at it. He doesn't know how to transform into a running script without practicing regular characters! So-called practice regular script first, the key is to write the words correctly. You can practice pen running script without making too much demands. The key is to write running script for a long time. If it is a good time to love learning at ordinary times, I should practice taking notes more in class. Actually, it is an excellent opportunity to go to school. I just read books and then record the classic things, so that I can review and consolidate the words I have learned with a lot of notes, so that I will not always remember the previous words. I practice writing only after work. I just take notes, which is equivalent to copying the book again. If I take notes quickly, the words will be deformed, and knowing that the words can't keep up with it is progress. In calligraphy, it is called "eyes are superior and low". As time goes by, the more I read, the better my hands will be, and in the next cycle, my hands will be high and my eyes will be low. After reading more, I find that I can't keep up with it. This means that my hands can't keep up with it again, and so on. Leave it alone. After a long time, when your lines are written, the natural speed will come up. This not only deepens the knowledge learned but also practices calligraphy! It can be said that learning to practice calligraphy is a win-win situation! Your dad's right! I have asked my son to write well since he was a child, and practicing well will benefit him all his life! The turning point in my life is due to the word, which is my personal experience! Listen to your dad. That's right. Start fighting and you'll get something!
I wish you success! And can successfully enter the favorite institutions of higher learning!
