Learning calligraphy is a process
When we learn any skill, including calligraphy, it takes a relatively long process to achieve it. From unfamiliarity, to gradually familiarity, and finally to proficiency, and finally reached the point of proficiency.

Distribution actually refers to structure. In terms of structure, we strive to be stable when we first learn calligraphy. But when we reach a stable level, we should not just be satisfied with stability, but should pursue danger and break the stable situation. When we reach a dangerous situation, we can return to peace again.

The "fixed frame" is actually a stable frame. Only in this way can the posture be changed. No matter how it changes, it can adapt and achieve perfection. It can be seen that this is a common rule for us to learn art, from unfamiliar to familiar, then from familiar to unfamiliar, and finally, from unfamiliar to familiar again. Although this process seems to have done a lot of useless work, it has returned to the starting point. But when we are familiar with it, we have achieved mastery of calligraphy knowledge and skills.

And when we are not familiar with it, we have achieved the "defamiliarization" of the things we are familiar with, and accommodated a lot of unknown new content. Books must be written first and then mature, and they must be mature first and then be produced. Those who are born at the beginning are not yet educated, and their minds and hands are at odds with each other; those who are familiar with the art do not show off their own paths, do not follow the world, new ideas come out from time to time, and their pens are full of chemistry. Such a cycle, constantly pushing things from quantitative change to qualitative change, and finally from qualitative change back to quantitative change, is a complete cognitive process. The so-called "transformation" actually means understanding and turning it into your own. Only in this way can innovation be achieved.
The process of learning calligraphy is tortuous. In such a process, we will see that our overall trend is continuous improvement, as long as we work hard, spend time, and master the correct skills. Methods can continuously improve our calligraphy level. But this process does not go up all the time. It also has a tortuous process. Sometimes it will decline and sometimes it will decline. So this is a dynamic process, not a straight upward process. Therefore, all kinds of difficulties encountered in learning calligraphy are normal. When learning calligraphy, don't worry too much about the difficulty. You need to have a normal mind. If you think it's too easy, you'll feel lazy. If you think it's too difficult, you'll be afraid and afraid to move forward. This is not good. No matter whether it is difficult or not, you must persevere to achieve success.
