Can a person with a good hard pen write well with a soft pen?

Let me tell you this, the relationship between hard pen and soft pen can be understood as subordinate relationship, and you can even doubt whether a person with good hard pen can write a brush (soft pen); But people who are good at soft writing will not be disappointed by hard writing. I have come into contact with many calligraphers and lovers, including myself. It is a common phenomenon that their hard pen is beautiful, but few people have really learned hard pen calligraphy.

Calligraphy has a solid foundation, and there will be charm in it without practicing hard pen. Even if you don't know the brushwork of hard pen, you can master the structure of the font itself, the echo between words, and the ups and downs of the whole paragraph. This is the so-called calligraphy charm. With verve, you can completely ignore the brushwork of hard pen calligraphy, and even find another way. Like cursive script, what is brushwork? Without brushwork, verve is brushwork. By that time, the elephant will be out of sight and can be heard with a loud voice.

I say so much because I hope that when you practice calligraphy, if time permits, you can start with a soft pen, so that you can have both form and spirit. No matter how good the hard pen is, if the charm of soft pen calligraphy has never been discovered, it can only be regarded as tangible without god.
