How to get started with calligraphy

Beginners should start with regular script. Calligraphers of past dynasties compared regular script to "Li", running script to "Xing" and cursive script to "Xing". Learning calligraphy is like learning to walk as a child. First of all, we must learn to "stand", which is what we call regular script. Regular script font stippling is standardized, with clear starting point, uniform structure, strict statutes and easy writing, which is the basis of practicing calligraphy. Both running script and cursive script are developed and changed on the basis of regular script. We must learn calligraphy well and lay a good foundation for regular script.
