What copybook do you want to buy to practice calligraphy?

I don't want to force you to choose which copybook. As I said before, what you like is the best, so I just show you the characteristics of each one. But when you choose the copybook, I only have one request, and you can't be greedy and cheap. I always believe that low-priced items always have their own reasons for low prices, so copybooks still suggest starting at 30. Brands are not recommended, lest people gossip.

Regular script is also called regular script. First of all, let's take a look at regular script, which is horizontal, vertical and square, and is a popular handwritten font of Chinese characters. Everyone wrote in block letters when they were in primary school.

Block letters give people a neat feeling, and the arrangement between words and lines is equidistant, giving people a sense of stability and solemnity. However, after practicing block letters, each stroke needs to be considered to ensure its equidistant stability and beauty, so the writing process will be slow, and the font will easily collapse after the speed is accelerated. But block letters are very suitable for beginners to learn and easy to write neatly. The choice of block letters copybooks is more suitable for people with stable and peaceful personality.

Running script is characterized by omitting strokes, which is a writing method of running script. By deliberately and appropriately stroking some strokes in block letters, lines can be merged without losing fonts, thus speeding up writing. Its strokes are full of hooks and chords, which are very smooth, harmonious and natural. Suitable for friends who are not used to writing in block letters.

Semi-cursive/running/calligraphy (China's calligraphy)

Running script is a combination of regular script and running script. It is slightly modified on the basis of regular script, and its shape is more square, but it also involves strokes and simplifies strokes. Compared with block letters, writing in block letters is not limited by pens; Compared with running script, it is not so free, and it also pays attention to the square structure of some block letters. This combination makes the writing of running script neat and free, so this is also the writing font I recommend for beginners. Whether you run the script in block letters or after practice, it will not be too difficult to learn and change in the future.

Run-regular script (a script between run and regular script)

Of course, I have seen a copybook called "lettering" in some shops. I can't judge this font because everyone has different aesthetics. I just think writing is too free, which may be difficult for beginners to learn.

The picture below shows that the font "Xu" has also been sought after by many people. Once a smash hit, now there are many copybooks, and friends you like can also choose.

Linear shape

Demonstration font' Wang', the font should be straight, the horizontal lines should be equidistant, and the first stroke should be straight. The second and third horizontal lines in Wang Can are slightly different, but the font structure must be kept at the same distance.

Balanced shape

The demonstration font' water' should pay attention to the balance of the form and the strokes should be basically symmetrical. Take the water character as an example, the left and right strokes should be centered on the vertical hook, and the width is basically symmetrical, and it doesn't matter if it is more.

square

Demonstration font' Tian', square characters should pay attention to the width at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the overall size is too small. The stroke order of Tian Zi Center is similar to that of Guanzi, which is vertical first and then horizontal.
