The same is true of creation. Some provinces or colleges are not limited to writing styles, and some require one or more writing styles.
In some provinces, the entrance examination (unified examination) or school examination will take seal cutting or Yin Gao design, and individual schools will also take the basic theory of calligraphy or line drawing.
For example: Henan calligraphy unified examination, copying regular script+copying official script+unlimited calligraphy creation.
Shanxi Province unified examination, regular script copying+running script copying+official script copying, regular script creation+non-regular script creation.
Hunan province unified examination, regular script copying+running script copying, not limited to calligraphy creation. The copy will give a general scope.
Sichuan fine arts institute proofread, copy+creation+Yin Gao design.
Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, copy+creation+line drawing+seal cutting.
