The power of hard-pen calligraphy comes from soft-pen calligraphy.
So to practice good calligraphy, you must first write well with a calligraphy pen.
Zhao Yuting's calligraphy is more suitable for beginners, and it is beautiful in form and spirit. It is recommended to use it.
To write cursive script (connected characters) well, you must start from the basics and practice step by step. Block regular script - running script - running script - cursive script - cursive script. As long as you practice regular script and use a little pen, you will be able to practice running script well. Once you practice running script, if you use a few more strokes, you will be able to practice cursive script well.
