Recommendations for girls:

4. How to buy copybooks
(1) Soft pen copybook
If you have a certain soft pen foundation and want to improve, you can directly buy the original version. If you have not practiced soft pen, you can buy:
"Lingfeijing Brushwork and Its Characteristics (Fountain Pen Lining of Famous Calligraphers of Past Dynasties)" edited by Xu Xiaojun
"The Writing Technique and Its Characteristics of "Huang Ting Jing" - Fountain Pens on Famous Calligraphers of Past Dynasties" edited by Gao Yongchun
Both are from Xiling Seal Society, and the others do not have pen versions.
(2) Hard-pen copybook
The criteria for buying copybooks are: the same structure/radical on the copybook is taught together, for example:
"Standard Running Script Standard Hard Pen Writing Copybook"
"Tian Yingzhang's Hard Pen Calligraphy Techniques (with Teaching CD)"
"Lu Zhongnan teaches you how to write good calligraphy. Radicals of strokes"
It can be seen from this that you should not buy copybooks that collect famous quotes, and do not buy copybooks of three hundred Tang poems, such as "Gu Wen Guan Zhi (Xing Kai)" written by Wu Yusheng and ""Diamond Sutra Heart Sutra" Hard Pen Regular Script Copybook" written by Tian Yingzhang
5. Summary
Don't practice Wang Xizhi, there are too few ink that have been handed down from generation to generation.
Don't practice Qigong.
Don't practice Pang Zhonghua, the name is too real and the writing is too rigid. When I was a kid, I didn’t have a choice, but now that I have other options, don’t practice.
If you don’t have the foundation, pick one of the hard-pen copybooks I mentioned above and start practicing. If you have the foundation, buy the Huang Ting Jing/Ling Fei Jing. If you are more ambitious, buy the Thousand Character Classic.
When practicing calligraphy, first practice horizontal and vertical strokes, and then practice the structure according to the radicals (left and right, up and down, semi-encircled). When practicing, think about how to arrange the upper and lower small, how to arrange the left side to be wide and the right side to be narrow, and how to arrange the overall center of gravity of the characters. . Practicing one character a day is enough. Characters with the same frame structure all have the same principle.
