The choice of copybooks, because everyone is not a calligraphy major, is not so particular. Ancient copybooks and contemporary calligraphers' copybooks are good examples. It is suggested that ancient Copybook for calligraphy be the first choice. Here, I list the classic copybooks used by people who practice hard pen. You can choose for yourself.

3. Do I have to choose regular script when I start practicing calligraphy?
A: Everything is not so absolute. I personally agree to practice regular script first, because regular script has strict rules and clear strokes, which is suitable for beginners. Mastering regular script will make it easier for you to transition to running script and cursive script. My method is to practice regular script first, then practice together, so that regular script will not be rigid and running script will not be impetuous.
4. How long do you write every day?
A: After all, most people are not calligraphers and time is tight. My method is to spend at least half an hour every day. I suggest to encourage each other with friends and stick to punching in every day, such as Weibo, WeChat group, qq group and practicing calligraphy.
5. Do you need a teacher to practice calligraphy?
A: Calligraphy is a cultural heritage. If you want to be a great musical instrument, you definitely need a teacher. The master took the door to practice calligraphy himself, and all the great calligraphers came from the master. For the average person, you can make progress without a teacher, just slow down and lower the upper limit. If you can find a good teacher, you can't just work hard on copybooks.
6. What is the relationship between soft pen and hard pen?
A: Soft pens take more effort. With the brush foundation, hard pen writing will be easier to learn, but hard pen writing is not necessarily good. Even if there is no brush foundation, hard pen writing can be practiced badly, and there are many great gods around to do examples. In any case, learning China's calligraphy is of great benefit to hard writing.
7. What is the relationship between simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters?
A: Because the ancient stickers are all traditional Chinese characters, which have been designed by calligraphers for thousands of years, they are very beautiful. However, the evolution time of simplified characters is short, and the simplification process is hasty, which leads to unsightly appearance. The only advantage is the speed of writing. As for who to choose to practice calligraphy, there is no need to struggle, it varies from person to person. A more orthodox method of practicing Chinese characters requires a lot of energy to choose traditional Chinese characters. After learning traditional Chinese characters, it becomes very easy to write simplified Chinese characters. If you don't want to spend too much time practicing Chinese characters, it is enough to choose the simplified Chinese characters of 1000, which can probably cover more than 90% of the words in daily writing. Judging from the use of Chinese characters, the number of high-frequency words is stable. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, the number of characters with 80% coverage was 58 1, 59 1 and 595 respectively. The number of characters that reach 90% is 943, 958 and 964 respectively; The number of characters reaching 99% is 23 14, 2377 and 2394 respectively.
8. Why does it feel good to practice for three months, but it is still ugly every day?
A: There is not enough time to practice calligraphy. Three months is too short. There is a good example. Some people around me even write a word a month (it is not recommended to grind a word for too long here, just to show that three months is nothing for practicing calligraphy).
9. How to post it?
A: First of all, it is not recommended to copy with transparent paper. It turns out that the impact is not great. My method is to put the words on the copybook in a rice grid (some books have their own grids, and some mobile calligraphy apps also have grids), then imitate the words on the copybook in my own handwriting, try to make the position and size of each pen consistent, practice each word hundreds of times (experts have thousands of times), then change the next word (even if it doesn't look like writing), and then finish writing a copybook and start from the beginning. Also note that it is better to practice more than to practice more. Don't try to practice all the words at once. Both parties are practicing calligraphy at the same time. A has 100 words, which is much better than B's rough 1000 words. Even if A has 900 words, it will be better than B.
10, do you want to practice calligraphy or strokes first?
A: Beginners can practice strokes and radicals for 7 days first. Even if you can't write well, don't spend all your time on strokes. After a week, you can start practicing calligraphy directly, and it takes 1/5 time to practice strokes at a time. Because of the particularity of Chinese characters, it is meaningless for you to practice only strokes. The same stroke is ever-changing in different words Therefore, strokes should be combined with words to practice, and * * * will make progress. The hierarchical relationship of works is: strokes-radicals-structure (characters)-composition (overall layout). In this way, for example, you should learn to write "one" and "two" first, then learn to write "ten" and "earth", then learn to hook and so on. Beginners should not care too much about whether the strokes are beautiful, but the focus is actually on the structure, structure and structure of words.
