According to my experience in learning calligraphy, there are three basic elements in learning calligraphy: one is talent, the other is method, and the third is perseverance. If you have two of these three conditions, you will gain something no matter how you study. Zhou Junjie, a young calligrapher and calligrapher theorist in China, studied hard and practiced hard when he was young. He visited all kinds of calligraphy and ink paintings that he could see, which can be said to be a project. Finally, judging from Hanzan Ramp Monument, it will eventually become a great musical instrument.

When talking about his experience, Friar Jie Jun said to me, "At that time, no matter how I wrote, I was as lame as a big man crustily singing a minority song. I am confused and anxious; Very precious (Wang Baogui, a calligrapher in Henan) pointed to my desk. This piece of Xie Han's Knife Back says that you should come again. Maybe it is accumulation, maybe it is chance. I'll start from the beginning, as if I met a bosom friend ... "

Dear friend, have you got any inspiration from this story?

As for learning books, in my opinion, you should have a good knowledge of literature, epigraphy and a certain accumulation of poems and songs, which will enable you to better understand the beauty of reason and line in the book; People who study must dress elegantly and generously. With the teacher, calm and modest; Be knowledgeable and versatile to fellow travelers; As Fang Jia can see, an obedient child can be taught!

As for apprentices, you should first bring your carefully written works, limited to three, and pay attention to the composition, style, seal arrangement, and even the choice of ink, paper and inkpad. It is even more important to choose a good opportunity. It is best to have a virtuous elder to introduce you (because the gentleman you admire is old and rare). Of course, it also depends on your chances with this old gentleman.

I think that anyone who sees the ambition of asking scholars to be modest, elegant and knowledgeable should not be turned away.

I won't! Ha ha. Dear friend, good luck!
