Do you practice writing with a pen or a brush first?

First of all, you have the desire and consciousness to practice calligraphy, which is the most important starting point.

As for practicing the pen first or practicing the pen first, I think there should be no difference in order. Just like a swordsman in a martial arts novel, picking up a rotten branch can also be used as a sword if the skills are in place. Of course, this is a joke, and if you can refer to it, it will be another story.

We all know that calligraphy is not equal to writing. If you write, you can see clearly, as long as you can communicate. It doesn't matter if you are good-looking or ugly. But calligraphy is not the concept. Calligraphy must have origins, origins, techniques and so on. Both inheritance and innovation must come from the ancients. As for what style are you interested in, regular script? Official script? Cursive script? ..... you can choose for yourself.

Recommend several basic books: Zhao Mengfu's Six-body Thousand-character Writing, Han Daoheng's Cao Jue Bai Yunsong or Wang Xizhi's Cao Miao Song, a cursive dictionary or a China calligraphy dictionary. Beginners, the preface of Lanting collection is not recommended. You can go to Xinzhi Bookstore, and there are many other ancient post stations. After practicing for more than ten years, I am destined to communicate more in the future.

I wish you success in your study and happy study! ! !
