What is the core of calligraphy?

What is the core of learning calligraphy? It doesn't seem easy to answer. Everyone may have different opinions. I think the most important thing is to enjoy life. Taking calligraphy as a hobby rather than a profession may help us better understand the beauty and connotation of calligraphy, not only writing well, but also working hard outside the words.

I think to learn calligraphy, we must first learn to study ancient inscriptions, learn the works of predecessors, and change our bad habits first, just like a process of changing bones. This process is long and arduous, but you have to go through this stage. If you play freely according to your own meaning, you will often go astray and go to the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to understand more mysteries and essence of calligraphy. It is important to learn calligraphy from the experience of predecessors, draw nutrition from it and enrich yourself. Self-improvement, and ultimately self-improvement, from posting to creation, is a comprehensive process. In your own hands, it may not be a faction, but it will integrate the posting process for a long time and become your own style.

The exploration and perseverance of learning calligraphy, no great calligrapher can casually go down in history, which is the result of constant practice, and this process is the result of long-term persistence and constant exploration, so learning this spirit and perseverance will help him make continuous progress on the road of calligraphy learning and gain a corresponding sense of accomplishment.

The ultimate goal of learning calligraphy is not to please others, but to enjoy yourself and feel happy from it. This is not only your own handwriting is more beautiful, but also your own aesthetic taste and personal cultivation. This is the best, it should be the core of learning calligraphy, don't you think?
