First, choose a pen. First of all, it is very important to choose a brush that suits you. There are many types of brushes, such as wolf's hair, sheep's hair, and both, and beginners can choose hard or both, because they are relatively easy to master. The hard pen is thinner, and the glyphs written are smaller, which is suitable for beginners to practice Xi basic strokes;The pen is softer, and the glyphs are larger, which is suitable for practicing Xi and regular script.
Second, the selection of posts. Secondly, it is also important to choose a notebook that suits you. Beginners can start with regular script and choose some calligraphy with simple structure and clear strokes to practice Xi. Kaishu is the foundation, and mastering the strokes and structure of Kaishu is also of great help to Xi other fonts in the future.

5. Repeated Xi.
Practicing Xi is the key to improving the level of calligraphy. Beginners should arrange a certain amount of time every day to practice and keep Xi.

6. Observation and Reflection.
Observation and thinking are necessary conditions for improving the level of calligraphy. In the process of Xi, you should be good at observing your own and others' works, find out the strengths and weaknesses in them, and think about how to improve your own writing.
