Twelve-year-old children have entered the fifth and sixth grades, and they may be practicing hard-pen calligraphy at ordinary times, which is very helpful for practicing soft-pen calligraphy in terms of starting, closing and structure. If you write well with a hard pen, it will be much easier to write with a brush. When learning regular script, structure is very important, because regular script requires very strict brushwork of all fonts. It seems to be a difficult road at first, but it will get smoother and smoother later. If you start with running script and just imitate strokes blindly, it is actually of little use. It is very likely that you can't even write a running script well, let alone other fonts. However, if you learn regular script first, you can slowly understand the relationship between strokes, slightly omitting Lian Bi, tension lines and strokes. From regular script to running script, and then from running script to cursive script, each link is a step-by-step process with personal experience.
Moreover, when signing up for calligraphy training classes, teachers will also teach from the most basic, which is justified. As for how to learn calligraphy well, it depends on your mood and whether you can persist and love it. Writing regular script at first is very boring, so you need to pay more attention to the selection of copybooks. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to write a single stroke too long, because it is really mechanical and the combination of single strokes affects the structure of a word, so it is better to write a word with complete radicals. Nowadays, many soft-pen copybooks are extracted from literary works, and you can also appreciate the essence of literature and art when you practice calligraphy. After writing regular script, you can try other fonts. At that time, the road of calligraphy will be wider and wider.
