The practice methods of calligraphy are drawing, writing, reciting and creating. Writing is first of all tracing, that is, putting thin paper on other people's works to trace. After tracing, you can start writing according to your own copybook. Temporary writing is a very important part of calligraphy practice, and it also has very important methods and skills, which should be explored slowly in practice.
After copying, practice reciting. According to the previous practice and impression, write by yourself without referring to the copybook, and practice the previous font. Finally, after all this is done, you can add your own creative parts on the basis of practice, form your own style and find the font that suits you best.
Calligraphy is a unique traditional culture in China, which is divided into seal script, official script, cursive script, running script and regular script.
