What should beginners know about calligraphy?

First: choose posts, it is best to choose what you like, which is convenient and persistent. If there is no direction, I would like to recommend a book about Jiujiucheng Palace in Ou Yangxun. It is a very good Tang Kai, and it is the first to recommend Jiuchenggong in teaching. Often referred to as the "European body"

Second: choose a pen. For beginners, choose a pure wool pen in block letters, because the wool pen is soft and easy to practice wrist strength.

Third, paper selection: Beginners suggest that you use 10cm square Mi Zige round paper or edge paper, which is cheaper. If conditions permit, it is certainly better to choose paper with a square Mi Zige of 10cm.

Fourth, choose ink: ordinary ink is enough for beginners, but you must not use raw water to adjust ink. Naturally, it is easy to stink and deteriorate. Pour as much as you use, and don't waste it at a time.

If you have the right tools, you must also have the right writing method and the right sitting or standing posture. Please refer to related books for requirements.

The most important thing is to remember: perseverance, perseverance, and reasonable arrangement of time, not fishing for two days and drying the net for three days, but persistence for several years will pay off. Wish you success!
