1. The key to learning calligraphy lies in practicing more, and practicing more lies in writing more calligraphy. But if you don't learn it properly, it will become a mere formality without actual results. Based on my many years of practice, I believe that to practice calligraphy well one should learn to observe. People often say, "Half of the words are learned by reading." This is quite true.
2. If it is purely from the perspective of writing good calligraphy, you can practice official script first and then practice running script. If you want to achieve something in art, you must start by learning regular script. Although the rules of official script are more casual and easier for beginners to learn, it requires sweat and effort to learn it well. When studying stele inscriptions, in addition to studying its shape and expression, you must also work hard on the skills of using the pen. You must achieve a center-forward and rhythmic writing, proficient fingering and turning, and good line quality. Dignified and profound, with rich connotations. These are all important elements for learning calligraphy, which are basic skills. Once a calligrapher has mastered the transition from writing official script to writing regular script, he will get twice the result with half the effort. The regular script he writes will be more beautiful and have a rich, simple, elegant and lofty charm.
3. Try to copy as many posts as possible and copy less. In the process of copying, most people will not take the initiative to deeply analyze and understand the ins and outs of each basic stroke of each font, as well as the lifting, pressing, pausing, closing, reversing, folding, turning, etc. of the basic strokes. Writing essentials, this essentially hinders the ability to observe calligraphy, independent thinking ability and creative thinking, and it is difficult to truly improve the level of calligraphy.
