Second, start learning from regular script, you can apply what you have learned.
It is a general consensus that beginners should start with orthographic characters. The orthographic characters are nothing more than the small seal, Han Li and Sui and Tang Kaishu.
The small seal is a long time ago, and those who learn the small seal first need to learn from the recognition of the small seal, and the current small seal font can be used in a limited place.
Hanli dot painting is simple, the knots are flat, this is a good calligraphy primer to learn fonts. But because of this, if you want to learn calligraphy in the future, other fonts are correspondingly more difficult.
As the legal font used nowadays, learning regular script first meets the practicality in reality. In addition, regular script is closely related to line script and cursive script. To a certain extent, you can learn both kinds of fonts to achieve the purpose of improving together.

Xiao Seal, also known as Qin Seal, is the "Shu Tongwen" font implemented by Qin Shi Huang after the unification of the Six Kingdoms.
Lishu refers to the writing of the Han Dynasty, and later calligraphers developed the "Jinli" style of Lishu on this basis.
Cursive, according to its development timeline, has chapter grass, small grass and **.
There is a difference between the line and the line of grass.
