Although my grandfather has studied calligraphy for more than 30 years, he doesn't admit that he is a "calligrapher".
In today's society, the so-called calligraphy innovation, ugly books run rampant, and bring order out of chaos. Calligraphy should not be innovated by ugliness.
Who is telling the truth? For ordinary young people, 30 years is not enough
Unless you start writing calligraphy from a very young age, you will be very good in your teens.
The artistic realm of calligraphy is too high, and ordinary people can't really reach the level like ancient calligraphers. Calligraphy and painting are ok, and I will get married in a few years.
How many calligraphers can there be like Qi Gong in today's society?
It might be good for you to listen to my answer:
1. Modest, calligraphy is not impetuous.
2. Be persistent.
As for who you learned from, you should know exactly how far you want to go beyond him.
Even if you become your master, you are just an apprentice. What are there in society now: Su Shi, Mi Fei, Huang Tingjian and so on?
I reserve my personal views on this issue.
Maybe you can benefit from reading my answer, maybe it will take you several years to understand.
Added: "Really!" Learning calligraphy and painting is like building a small house;
Calligraphy is like Gai Lou, the higher it is, the more difficult it is, especially the use of words. There are too many rules here, and everyone's handwriting should be outstanding, unless he is an unusual genius (he was taught by a professional teacher from an early age and didn't take an ordinary road, like Mrs. Xiang)
Nowadays, calligraphers all spend money to enter the book association, and the words they write are pure dragon and phoenix dances (just draw on paper with a pen, others still feel high if they can't understand it).
You can see whether a person is impetuous or not from his words.
There should be hope for you to learn calligraphy and painting. You will get married after a few years of study, and you will have a good level in 10 years. Keep an open mind.
Words are written by everyone, and paintings are expressions of emotions.
If you want a good hand and want to ask questions, send me a picture of your words and I'll tell you. Generally speaking, it is not necessary. I have read too many people's handwriting, and I want to say that there are too many impetuous people.
