If you want to practice calligraphy, should you learn running script or regular script first?

Generally speaking, due to the needs of exams in the student stage, if you have no foundation, you should start with block letters, that is, regular calligraphy stroke by stroke. If you have a foundation in regular script, you can learn Xingkai to speed up your writing. Students at the primary school level must first learn fountain pen regular script. Starting from the fourth grade, if they have a foundation in regular script, they can transfer to learning regular script. If you are learning as an adult, it is best to learn regular script at the beginning, and then learn Xingkai script after you have a little basic knowledge of regular script. Because regular script is the foundation, it is the ability to practice the structure and modeling of calligraphy. Once you have the foundation of regular script, you can transform it into regular script with a little bit of brushwork. But you can also learn Xingkai directly. The choice of fonts for Xingkai generally has a strong personality, such as Gu Zhongan's running script. You can learn it directly without having a regular script foundation. To learn some regular script, you must have a foundation in regular script. For example, Wu Yusheng’s regular script cannot be learned directly without a foundation in fountain pen regular script, because his regular script is more dignified and moderate, and its shape is based on regular script. evolved.
