For ancient calligraphy stele inscriptions, I don’t know what font you learned. Regular script includes "Duobao Pagoda Stele", "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription" and "Dengba Stele".

In the choice of copy:
1. To "work first and then write", you must start from the neat drawings of pen and ink, and combine the structure of mountains and rocks, and the structure of wood. Intersperse and clarify, learn various brushwork and ink techniques conscientiously, and lay a solid foundation. Don't be too ambitious. If you start by learning freehand landscapes and pursuing the so-called interest in pen and ink, you will go astray.
2. "From near to far", first study the works of a certain modern family based on your own preferences. If you like it, you will be interested in it; if it is of a similar era, it will be easy to accept it. It would be better if you can learn from a teacher and have a teacher to give you face-to-face guidance. After gaining some experience in brush and ink techniques, I can then copy the paintings of ancient famous artists.
3. To "go from expert to expert", be sure to avoid being erratic and trying only superficially, so as not to have a deep understanding of any one in the end. Shen Zongsai of the Qing Dynasty said in "Gate Zhou Xuehua Bian": "When you first learn, you must strive for absolute similarity, and those who can be almost confused with the real ones are the most valuable. For example, the ancients saw the method, used it with intention, and even used it with extreme intention without realizing it. They were all copied one by one. "It can be seen that only by concentrating on one family can one learn the true skills.
