What copybooks should novice calligraphers buy?

My friend, I sincerely suggest that you start practicing regular script, and you can practice Yan Zhenqing's memorial tablet. This tablet was written by him in the middle and late period, which is relatively mature. Relatively speaking, his Magu Fairy Mountain is much inferior, and his brushwork changes flatly. After that, you can practice official script (many people will tell you that official script is easy to practice and can improve your confidence. That's bullshit！ It is true that the shape of official script is easy to master and neat and beautiful, but it would be a failure to practice calligraphy only by practicing the shape. Just look at the excellent calligraphy works now, which works are neat? Which work is the font in the original inscription? Need a breakthrough, so understanding the previous writing skills is king. After practicing the first two fonts, other fonts, such as running script, seal script, cursive script, etc. , you can choose to practice. Of course, the core is the same, which is calligraphy. In order to experience calligraphy, I strongly recommend that you buy a gold inscription (with translation). It may cost a little more, but it is worth it. The above is the process of learning calligraphy, I hope it will help you ~
