Why don't some people study the calligraphy of the Ming Dynasty all their lives?

Copying is the most basic and primary method to learn calligraphy, and it is also the only way to climb the peak. "Pro" and "copy" originally have two meanings: "Pro" is "addressed to the opposite side" and "copy" is "covering up". The object (copybook) can be designated by the teacher, but it is best to choose it yourself. You like it and start studying it, which can be said to be a kind of enjoyment; Cultivate an interest. Plagiarism is not plagiarism of the whole article. Both the whole and the part need to be carefully scrutinized and treated with caution. Copying is to deepen the impression of the brain through hand drawing, and to carve a beautiful image in the heart through the movement of hands, eyes and brain. The key is not the quantity, but the harvest every time you come. It doesn't matter in my heart every time. That time is a waste of time. One of the main purposes of copying is to force the image when you are near. Understand and digest the calligraphy image created by others through copying. The similarity between the temporary works and the original works reflects your understanding and mastery. Formally speaking, copying is to write other people's words with your own handwriting; In essence, this is indeed an excellent means to train the image perception ability. The more similar the writing, the more thorough it must be; The closer you look, the sharper your perception. When two words are put together and slightly different, they can be distinguished at a glance. Such keen eyesight should be the basic quality that every calligrapher must possess. Copying is a kind of thinking, a kind of comparison and a kind of memory. For writing with a pen, the key point of copying is the structure of the word, and it doesn't take much effort to use a pen. Pay attention to the structure, manage the pen, and learn to like it at once; But the result of practice is often mutual interference.
