I don't think we can generalize the problem of novice job selection. The key is that the novice should like the style of the selected family. This is the biggest premise, because it is possible to persist and deepen if you like it. The second is to choose some recognized legal positions suitable for entry. (If regular script starts, many people like Zhao Mengfu's handwriting, but it is not suitable as an introductory calligraphy post, which makes beginners become slick and kitsch. This is thousands of years of experience. ) I think as long as we grasp these two points to choose a post, we will get twice the result with half the effort. Of course, if you want to start with official script, you should never start with official script of Tang Dynasty, because official script of Tang Dynasty is too heavy and lacks the simple beauty of official script. In addition, the attainments of official script and seal script in Qing dynasty are very high, but they are also not introductory. Due to the rich textual research of epigraphy in Qing Dynasty, many calligraphers integrated the Weibei or Zhuan hoop brushwork or style of epigraphy into official script, which broadened the expression form of official script, but it was not an introduction. The following are some famous works of Han Li and their calligraphy styles for your reference:
Cao Quanbei (Juanxiu), Yiying Monument (founder Bo Gu), Zhang Qianbei (simple atmosphere) and Huashan Monument (simple and elegant). Ritual monument (dignified and concise, beautiful and extraordinary) and Confucius Temple monument (graceful and sincere).
