It is difficult to choose copybooks if you want to practice pen writing. Which is better, Pang Zhonghua or Tian Yingzhang?
I personally don't agree with Pang Zhonghua's handwriting. Tian (the younger brother), a master of modern European calligraphy, once commented on Pang Zhonghua's calligraphy face to face, and thought that Pang's calligraphy level was limited, and anyone who practiced writing brush for a year or two could have his level. Pang's calligraphy belongs to popular calligraphy (there is no popular calligraphy in itself, but Pang belongs to it, which can be seen. ), Pang Zhonghua once asked Tian face to face what he thought of his calligraphy. Tian said that Pang's brush foundation is too weak, and the level of hard pen calligraphy is not high. Pang agrees with Tian. Pang's hard pen calligraphy did not reach the height of calligraphy. Pang's handwriting is hard and tacky, and it is not at the same level. Then why did Pang Zhonghua become famous and buy more copybooks? It is precisely because Pang Zhonghua just advocated hard-pen calligraphy after the Cultural Revolution that his copybooks came into being, so they were widely circulated. I personally recommend Tian Yingzhang. His calligraphy originates from European style and needs a certain calligraphy foundation. It's also difficult, but it's still very good to write after practice. In addition, it is still good, and Wu is also from the European style, but Tian and Wu inherit and develop the European style differently. Tian's European style is relatively conservative, while Wu's European style has development and innovation, and each has its own strengths. If you don't want to practice to the level you can get into, there is no need to practice from regular script, but it is too urgent to practice running script directly, and it is easy to practice neither fish nor fowl. It is better to practice from running script, which is between regular script and running script and is easier to master.
