"The pen is weak and the name is often posted; Reread ancient poems when you are poor. " I believe there will be no objection to the meaning expressed in this couplet. As Dong Qichang said, "If you don't learn from the ancients, you will go astray." . As the only way to learn calligraphy, copying calligraphy posts seems to have become everyone's knowledge and constitutes a tradition-the tradition of calligraphy learning methods.
