Zhang Zhihu’s personal experience

With the full support of my parents, I have more conditions than other children in rural areas to do what I love. In terms of calligraphy, my parents always try their best to meet my learning needs from copybooks to stationery supplies. From 2001 to 2005, I studied at the Chinese Department of Ningxia University, the highest institution in Ningxia, majoring in normal education. During these four years of study, in addition to completing professional studies, I continued to study calligraphy seriously and made great progress in theory and techniques. , has won many awards, and was absorbed as a member of the Calligraphy Association.

I am good at writing in Xingkai font. Although this font is more beautiful, elegant and popular, and everyone generally likes it, the rules of Xingkai font are too strict. One stroke is not in place, and the entire page Everything is broken. Every word is written with almost all my heart. However, after writing it, some people say that my writing is too good, but I feel that there is still a long way to go before it is truly good.

I have been learning to write for nearly 20 years. My biggest impression is that to learn calligraphy well, you must read a lot of books and calligraphy. Read the posts to study calligraphy content such as brushwork, layout, structure, etc.; read to improve your interest and make your calligraphy reveal the true feelings of life, that is, truth, goodness and beauty. Only in this way, the two will promote each other, and gradually you can enter a better state and enter the palace of art. During my college years, I read about thirty boxes of books on various subjects, including many calligraphy books. I feel that it played a big role in improving myself. Friends who like calligraphy may wish to give it a try. In addition, you need to visit famous teachers and seek guidance, which can save you from many detours and quickly improve your calligraphy level.
