2. Copying doesn't need imagination. Some words will feel awkward when opened, and many people will change them without authorization. This is a big no-no. When copying, you must follow the original post exactly. Only by exercising your copying ability and foundation can you make the next step of creation, and don't be self-righteous.
3. Small water flows forever. Practice as much as possible every day, but the most important thing is to stick to it. I stopped studying calligraphy 16, 1 1 for half a year this year. I deeply regret that calligraphy is spiritual. If you don't want to learn, don't start writing or stop learning, otherwise you will get twice the result with half the effort.
There are still some words that can only be understood. As long as you get down slowly, you will have your own experience. I wish you success.
