Many people make the same mistake when practicing calligraphy, which is to trace one by one on the copybook. In the end, there is no effect at all, which makes them very disappointed and feels that they are not good at writing. This is a method problem. Writing 10,000 words once a day is far inferior to writing one word 10,000 times! There are eight basic strokes of Chinese characters and about 200 fonts. Kung fu should be used here, not other places! Use the simplest copybook every day Just choose a few words and write them over and over again. As time goes by, I will make progress! My handwriting is not good, but I later decided to turn over a copybook, and I became good at handwriting. I even won an award in school. .
Now you should work hard to practice the most basic calligraphy, and all your efforts should be used to lay the foundation. Choose it yourself first. Only write two or three words a day, and don’t write more! Remember, the slower the better, and the slower you make, the greater your progress. You can start with a description, but the most important thing is to follow the description and keep comparing and improving until it looks very similar.
Recommendation: If you are just getting started, you can buy teacher Pang Zhonghua’s copybooks. Buy simple ones (with basic strokes) and have basic stroke practice, so you can work harder. Although Teacher Pang's calligraphy is controversial in the calligraphy community, choosing his calligraphy when starting out will not make a detour. If your level is higher, you can read teacher Tian Yingzhang's copybook (to be honest, he has a background in European sports, so it is difficult to practice). Mr. Qi Gong's book about calligraphy can help people get rid of superstition and increase their knowledge. Teacher Tian Yunzhang's lectures are straight from the source and speak the truth. Let me talk about this first, I hope you will avoid detours.
