Many people also want to practice hard-written standard calligraphy through their own efforts, but things often backfire, and many people fall into this dilemma:


1. Unable to find an entry point and groping randomly, which consumes a lot of time and has little effect;

2. Without communication and comparison, there is no thinking, and you can only cross the river by feeling the stones;

3. Without a famous teacher to guide the way, calligraphy practice will form bad habits, which are extremely difficult to change;

4. Lack of systematic practice, lack of guidance from the aesthetic laws of calligraphy, and inability to draw inferences from one example.



After practicing calligraphy for several years, why can’t I still write well?

Although there are many well-known reasons for poor writing, the fundamental reason is errors in understanding, which is directly related to the learner's own wrong thinking or rigid ideas.


Common misconception 1: The more you practice, the better your writing will be


Some students think that when practicing calligraphy, they only need to write repeatedly and put in the same effort as what is written on the copybook. So when practicing calligraphy, I blindly repeated mechanically, and eventually developed the bad habit of "copying", using the pen casually, without analysis, and scribbling and correcting.


Common misconception 2: Practice is practice, writing is writing


Some students write very well when practicing calligraphy, but they mess up when doing homework. When some students practice calligraphy, they like to doodle before the end and change fonts at will, which ultimately leads to poor calligraphy.

For example, many people will ignore the difference between the Chinese characters "twins". In this case, you need to compare the words with the ones on the copybook after writing to find out the small gaps, and make continuous corrections.


2. When practicing calligraphy, you must start well and finish well, and cannot do it half-heartedly. When writing, you must be meticulous and every stroke must be written realistically.


After mastering the font structure, you can choose the font you like and practice it persistently, and do not change fonts easily.


It is necessary to combine learning with application and practice with writing. When the practiced calligraphy is used in daily life, the writing should be as good as when practicing. Use one after practice, learn by using, use while learning. Only by combining learning with application can you practice calligraphy well.



When practicing hard-pen standard calligraphy, should I just practice it by comparing it with printed regular script calligraphy?

Of course not. For example, when a single character is written alone, the original strokes can be stretched according to its own shape, but when making radicals, the changes in the components of a single character when used as a combined character are quite complicated.


When you practice standard calligraphy, you can refer to its strokes, shape, and position, but you cannot copy it. After all, everyone's writing habits and aesthetic tastes are different, and the characters you write cannot be the same printed characters.


When the hard-pen standard characters are accurate and standardized, they should also be simple, smooth and beautiful.
