What kind of copybook should adults choose when practicing calligraphy? What are the steps to practice calligraphy?

First of all, it must be clear that there is no necessary connection between calligraphy practice and age!

If you like calligraphy, and want to know more, feel the influence of calligraphy art, so as to cultivate your mind and make it a pleasure of life, then I suggest you learn regular script. The evolution of calligraphy fonts has certain rules, and calligraphy pays attention to basic skills. In principle, we should practice regular script and have a solid foundation. Practice other fonts with half the effort.

If you just want to write better to meet the needs of exams or work, then I suggest you learn running script. Running script is the most widely used in life, with strong practicability and relatively low difficulty in getting started.

The following suggestions are for your reference:

1. No matter what font you practice, you have to paste it! It is suggested that Yan Zhenqing's Yan Monument, Duo Pagoda Monument and Liu Gongquan's Mysterious Pagoda Monument be copied in regular script, Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting and Mi Fei's Shu Sutie in brush calligraphy, or Pang Zhonghua's copybook can be copied in hard pen calligraphy.

2. Don't practice blindly, learn to read posts first, that is, look at the basic brushwork and structure of the model essay, know the weight, speed, start and end of strokes, and then form a "feel" through continuous practice.

3. Be sure to keep practicing every day without interruption! Be sure to practice hard, and never regard it as the completion of the task.

4. Novices suggest painting red before pasting.
