1. How to get started practicing calligraphy as an adult
It is a good thing to learn calligraphy, as it can cultivate your own sentiments. I am also learning calligraphy and have been doing it for about 10 years.
When learning calligraphy, you must first practice real calligraphy, which is what we often call regular script. When my first teacher taught us, we were just getting started with Liu Ti. Now I feel that Liu Ti is too difficult and difficult for beginners to master. According to my experience, beginners are suitable for practicing Yan Zhenqing’s Qin Li Monument, which is relatively easy to get started. However, the Duobao Pagoda Stele is Yan Zhenqing’s early work, and is relatively less representative than the Qinli Stele. After getting started with the Qinli Stele, you can practice some works by Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, and Liu Gongquan to distinguish the differences between these fonts.
Calligraphy requires practice. It is divided into three stages: "preparing the post - writing on the back - creating". You can read the post when you have nothing to do and don't practice calligraphy. Through the fonts, you can feel the author's mood and writing posture during the writing process. You can also find some subtle differences in fonts... These are some qualities that a scholar should have... I hope you can learn happily.
2. Steps that beginners of adult brush calligraphy should do
According to my successful experience, first use Langhao brush and regular script.
The ink does not need to be good, just add water and it will be colored.
Be sure to select the Lanting preface for the copybook, which is very practical.
Find a piece of glass, a bigger one.
Use a pen dipped in ink to paste on the glass, or you can press the copybook under the glass and paste it, then erase it after writing is full. The advantage of this is that it not only saves paper, but also maximizes the speed of writing, making it easy for beginners to master. If you write directly on paper, the paper will smear so slowly that you cannot see clearly what you are writing, which will make you lose confidence.
After you have basically mastered the essentials of writing, you can write your posts on newspapers, and then gradually transition to rice paper. The ink should also gradually become thicker.
This method is very suitable for adult beginners.
The world of running script is between regular script and cursive script. It is highly practical, especially Wang Xizhi’s running script, which is more suitable for the needs of adults and can achieve immediate results.
This method is also suitable for people of other ages and for practicing other calligraphy styles.

① Point, move the pen from the upper left to the lower right. There is a process of moving the pen. Note that "points" also have length and cannot be combined into dots.
②Horizontal, write equally from left to right. The key is to "horizontally be flat", not one end high and the other low, or the strokes should be wavy. Control the length according to the font shape of the square font, not too short or too long.
③Vertical, move the pen vertically from top to bottom. The key is that "the vertical line must be straight", not skewed to the left or right, let alone written as a vertical hook. Control the length according to the font shape of the square font, not too short or too long.
④ When writing, write from the upper right to the lower left. Do not write dotted or horizontally.
⑤ When writing folded pens, the folded corners should be square rather than round. Don't make a big break at the corner, and write it as two obtuse angles off the shoulder, but write it as a right angle.
The words written in this way, if written with a ballpoint pen, are small round artistic calligraphy similar to matchsticks; if written with a fountain pen, they are standard boldface characters.
Although the strokes are monotonous, they are still beautiful and beautiful as long as the structure is accurate. Just like the squatting horse stance is the basic skill of practicing martial arts, the horizontal, vertical and horizontal skills are the basic skills of writing Chinese characters. The reason why many people cannot write well is that the horizontal and vertical lines are not straight and the structure is not accurate. If the structure is not right, no matter how rich the strokes are, you will not be able to write good calligraphy.

Methods/steps
1. Based on experience, I think you can Let’s start with official script first, because official script is easier to get started with. Now there is no way to improve quickly if you first practice calligraphy. It is recommended that you practice official calligraphy first to hone the feel of your hand. After practicing for 4-5 months, my hands will be almost stable, and I can basically write down whatever I see. Of course, the writing is still not very good, so I will consider changing to regular script now. Of course, you have to post posts at the beginning, not to mention that even after you become a real everyone, you must insist on posting posts every day. Of course, it’s best to choose the one you like in terms of style. Of course, there are requirements for comparison. It is better to use Jianhao for official script and seal script, and Langhao for regular script.
If you can spare 1 to 2 hours a day to post, or keep studying and persevering, you will succeed
2. Practice for a while, and after you have a certain amount of skill, Use your heart to feel the power that the words on the copybook bring to you, and write it into the words you write. If you can't feel it, it's because you don't have enough effort and you still need to work hard
3. Finally The way to quickly practice calligraphy well is to practice more. You can choose to practice running script, because running script is often used in daily life, study, and work. In this way, you can practice more and improve faster.
