Practice Chinese calligraphy

It's best to learn calligraphy from block letters, because block letters are really easy to understand, and it's convenient to use pens. The strokes in block letters are too small to express clearly. If you practice in block letters, you will naturally write in block letters.

For example, there are two copybooks written in block letters and small letters in Yan Zhenqing's Biography of Magu Xiantan. Comparatively speaking, there is not much difference between the two calligraphy works in pen use and structure. This means that big letters are good, and small letters will be good.

However, if lowercase letters are good and uppercase letters are good, can it be reversed? It is out of the question. Because, if you often write small characters instead of big characters, the brushwork of small characters will be limited to the light and simplified state of stippling, and you can't adapt to the rich and euphemistic brushwork expression of big characters at all.

Therefore, if you often write small words without practicing big words, you really can't write big words well. If all block letters are written with pens, then all block letters are written with some pens. Let's use a fraction to describe capital letters and capital letters. If the pen for capital letters is 100, then the pen for capital letters is only 60.

Let's take a look at Zhao Mengfu's pen in uppercase and lowercase letters, and you will see it clearly. Zhao Mengfu's capital letters are full, saturated, changeable and colorful, but they can only be described as exquisite and delicate.
