Pencils are very suitable for practicing hard-pen calligraphy. Since the pen tip changes shape during the writing process, the written calligraphy and stipples are more varied and full of charm. However, I would like to remind you that Pang Zhonghua's handwriting is not suitable for learning. His handwriting is too rigid and lacks variety. His poor calligraphy skills determine that his handwriting has no height. If you like hard-pen copybooks, I recommend Tian Yingzhang and Lu Zhongnan. Their fountain-pen copybooks are good.
Please refer to my opinion in another post:
Hello, it is often said in calligraphy that "the method is from the top, and the method is from the middle; the method is from the middle, and the method is from the bottom." ", I think this sentence has a certain truth. To give a vivid example, if Guo Jing studied martial arts with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan all his life, he would only know some foreign martial arts in the end; but after he studied martial arts with Hong Qigong, how could his improvement in martial arts be the same as before? Same thing! When it comes to calligraphy, it is easy to understand, so the selection of calligraphy is very important. I suggest to directly follow the example of the ancients. Their things can last for thousands of years, which fully illustrates their extraordinary skills. The ancients generally used a brush to write, and because of its extraordinary skill, it can be used to write in small regular script. I personally think it is a good choice to use a small regular script copybook to practice pen calligraphy. Wang Xianzhi's "Thirteen Lines in Jade Edition" of Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" in small regular script is known as the best small regular script in the world. The number of words is not many but the characters are exquisite, which is undoubtedly of great benefit to learning calligraphy. In addition, I recommend the small regular script of Zhao Mengfu, a great calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty. His small regular script "Ling Fei Jing", "Luo Shen Fu", "Tao Te Ching", etc. are all good learning models. Of course, you also need to persevere, read more posts, understand more, and write more. Over time, your calligraphy skills will definitely improve!
In addition, I think that the calligraphy recommended by Pang Zhonghua upstairs is - without a doubt - inappropriate. It is not advisable for people today to learn too much about calligraphy. Moreover, their calligraphy skills are still average today. They only have neat and neat knots, and the words are all the same, with no sense of beauty at all. Of course, there is no doubt that he made a great contribution to the popularization and development of hard-tipped calligraphy, which is obvious to everyone.
