Especially among today’s young people, there are very few people who have really learned calligraphy, especially The calligraphy of brush calligraphy is more about learning hard-pen calligraphy, which results in that our ability to appreciate brush calligraphy is relatively weak. We have not learned traditional calligraphy since we were young, and we do not know the meaning of horizontal strokes and vertical strokes in calligraphy. Naturally, we cannot appreciate the efforts that the ancients put into calligraphy. This is one of the reasons why we cannot appreciate Yan Liu Kai style.
Another point is that we have been subtly influenced by hard-pen calligraphy since we were young. In particular, many people advocate using Tian Yingzhang’s copybooks to practice calligraphy, so our subconscious will gradually form it. Tian Yingzhang et al. Calligraphers' calligraphy is truly good. After years of practice, they will naturally have a certain ability to appreciate modern people's regular script. However, it is precisely because of this that we have less appreciation for ancient calligraphy and less appreciation for ancient people's writing. The habits are no longer familiar, so when we see their works, we will feel a sense of strangeness, and naturally we will not be able to appreciate them.

This will not only help us practice calligraphy, but also improve our ability to appreciate the works of the ancients and give us a better understanding of the development of calligraphy. A better understanding so that you can be more impressed during the practice.
