Learning books is expensive.
As the saying goes: "There is a road to diligence in Shushan, and there is no limit to learning the sea." If you use this sentence to learn books, you can change it to: "There is a road in the mountain of books, and the ink sea is boundless." The reason is not difficult to understand, that is, to learn calligraphy, we must work hard on the word "diligence" to create achievements with diligence.
Diligence is the first requirement for learning calligraphy. People who have no perseverance and refuse to suffer hardships will never make a difference in calligraphy. Throughout the ages, many accomplished calligraphers have never left their posts and pens, studied hard, practiced hard and forgot to eat or sleep. Zhao Mengfu is a typical example of this.

Zhao Mengfu worked hard all his life and left many calligraphy treasures for later generations. He writes fast and much. When he wrote fine print, it was thousands or even tens of thousands. But no matter how much he writes, he is serious and meticulous. From beginning to end, his hands were tireless, and his pen kept writing, word for word and meticulously. He writes like the wind, flies like paper, and has no mistakes at all. This is inseparable from his usual efforts. Without his usual efforts, he couldn't have done it anyway.
Zhao Mengfu entered calligraphy from the "two kings", carefully pondered his own way of using a pen, and spent a lot of time on calligraphy. He is diligent and studious. Whenever he gets a copy of the Law of the Two Kings, he always copies it several hundred times before putting it down. He also attached great importance to the inscriptions of the previous generation calligraphers, often memorized them, and even recited the inscriptions of 13 previous generation calligraphers. His back is almost the same as the original flat. After a long period of hard study and practice, Zhao Mengfu finally formed a "mellow, full, exquisite and charming" style-"Zhao Ti", which made outstanding contributions to the art of calligraphy and occupied an important position in the history of calligraphy in China.
