What kind of calligraphy should I learn first when I am new to China's calligraphy?

Learning regular script can not only practice rich brushwork, but also train beginners to master the structure and write regular script well, not to mention the structural problems of other regular scripts. Official script can play a connecting role. After learning official script, you will find it relatively simple and easy to learn. It is not difficult to learn regular script after learning official script, and learn to understand the thick brush and the rough feeling of paper. The establishment of this feeling is very beneficial to learning other calligraphy styles in the future, and you will naturally understand it after learning for a long time. Here I tell the whole story about the "cheats" of learning calligraphy.

However, according to the evolution of Chinese characters, it is suggested that it is better to start with official script first. Official script plays a connecting role in the evolution and development of Chinese characters, and it is easy to get started (but difficult to improve). In fact, it is not difficult to choose what kind of books to learn, as long as you do it according to your own mind. The difficult thing is to practice calligraphy and create calligraphy works persistently, and persistence is victory. I hope that the beginners of brush calligraphy will stick to the end and have one or more elegant and beautiful calligraphy styles. Calligraphy is divided into five categories: Xing Kai and Cao Lichuan. Each style has different styles and genres. Beginners of calligraphy should train and control the brush in their hands. That is, the practice of skills.

Zhao Mengfu said, "In modern times, do as the Romans do. Yan Shu is a great change for calligraphers, but the boy Xi didn't change until his head turned white. So it became a bloated and fleshy disease. No medicine is bad, but it is all admired and unrealistic. It is still the second king of calligraphy, and loyalty is like a face. What's the injury? "It should be noted that Su Shi's official script refers to seal script, official script and regular script, not regular script. There is no fixed pattern for choosing which one to copy in official books. Everyone can and should choose according to their own interests. In short, no matter which font, grasping the characteristics, understanding the rules of strokes and structure, and making good use of paper, ink, pen and inkstone are the basic ways to learn calligraphy art.
