You can learn calligraphy at any time.
Many people have a misconception that the earlier you learn calligraphy, the better. Actually, it is not. You can learn calligraphy at any time. I think it has the following advantages compared with children and adults:
First, you have a strong understanding and learn quickly, and it is easy to put your cognition into practice.
Compared with children, adults have a sound mind, can understand various concepts and skills in calligraphy well, and master and learn faster.
Second, adults have rich experience, and thinking about life helps to grasp the emotions of calligraphy works.
The study of many calligraphy works requires you to have strong observation and observation ability. For example, if we let two people, an adult and a child, have the same basic calligraphy skills, and at the same time let them copy manuscripts for offering sacrifices to their nephews, then adults will definitely be better than children, probably because of their calligraphy skills, but on the basis of the same calligraphy level, adults will better grasp their emotional demands, which will be better.
Third, many art masters have no childlike innocence, and many of them began to involve art after adulthood. For example, Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi all started to learn art in their thirties and forties. Didn't they all become masters?
