1. Generally, the starting point for practicing calligraphy is regular script. I want to say that you should pay attention to the structure of words when you are just getting started. There are some tricks in every field, of course, hard-pen calligraphy is no exception, because Chinese characters in China are generally up, down, left and right. The formula is: focus on the left and right, and tighten up and down.
2. The words of the left and right structures should be tight left and right, and the words of the upper and lower structures should be tight up and down. As shown in the figure. If the words "I and Ran" in the picture should be the font above according to the formula, if it violates the formula, it should be the font below.
3. While paying attention to font structure, we should also pay attention to the main strokes of the font. For example, the main strokes of the following two words are oblique hooks. When you stretch the hook beautifully, the whole word is three-dimensional, but if you don't stretch it, it will look quite ugly. These important strokes became words.
Matters needing attention in writing hard pen calligraphy:
1, find a suitable copybook. The appropriate copybook here has two meanings, one is the copybook published by a regular publishing house that conforms to the norms of Chinese characters, and the other is the copybook that conforms to personal character. As we all know, the words written by people with different personalities will be very different. If you are a quiet and introverted person, then you should not choose bold and hard copybooks to practice.

2. Carefully observe the bookshelf structure of each word. Observe before you write, and carefully observe the structure of each word. Don't think that you have written words for many years, just by feeling and memory, not by observation. This is not effective. Observing first and then copying will get twice the result with half the effort.
3. copy carefully. Because I think my previous writing is not good enough, I plan to practice my handwriting. Therefore, I want to abandon my previous writing style and carefully copy the selected copybook. Every stroke should be copied in place without discount, so that the words written are beautiful enough.
4. stick to it. You can't succeed in practicing calligraphy overnight. We must persist. If you are happy today, don't write all morning. If you are unhappy tomorrow, don't write a word. This will not have obvious effect. No matter how busy you are every day, take time out to write, even if there are only a few lines, you will make progress if you persist every day.
5. Observe and compare. You can collect your own words and compare them when you practice. After practicing for a period of time, you can compare the words at different stages and see what effect you have achieved during this time. If you see progress, you will be more motivated to practice in the future. At the same time, by comparing their own words and copybooks, we can find our own shortcomings and make targeted corrections.
