Brief introduction of soft pen calligraphy;
Soft pen calligraphy generally refers to calligraphy works created with soft pen, which should theoretically include brush and soft pen. But at present, there is no such thing as soft pen calligraphy, and there has always been only hard pen calligraphy and brush calligraphy. If you know, you don't have to dig deeper.
There is a kind of calligraphy called hard pen. Brush and soft pen are two different kinds of pens.
When writing with a brush, you may need your wrist and arm strength to hold it differently.
Hard pen can be practiced as a whole, which is relatively easier than writing brush.
If you want to practice writing brush well, you must practice it one by one.
Hard pen calligraphy was born in modern times. Relatively speaking, we called it brush calligraphy in ancient times. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as soft pen calligraphy. Moreover, the soul of calligraphy is interlinked, not a hard pen or a brush.
With the interest of learning brush calligraphy, there are three specific steps to overcome the lack of wrist strength in the early stage: eye repair, hand repair and realm repair. Simply put, it is to read more famous stickers, copy more according to law, and innovate more.

Introduction to regular script:
Flat and vertical. Ci Hai is interpreted as "square and straight, which can be used as a model." Hence the name regular script. It started at the end of the Han Dynasty and has been popular ever since.
Regular script is also called regular script, real script and official script. Li Shu, founded by Cheng Miao, has gradually evolved and become more simplified. The appearance of horizontal regular script closely follows Han Li's composition and pursues the further development of formal beauty. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the writing of Chinese characters gradually changed from wave to wave, becoming "side" (point), "long left" and "pecking" of Wuwei medical bamboo slips and Juyan Han bamboo slips. Regular script is characterized by neat rules and is a model in fonts, so it is called regular script and has been used ever since.
Regular script has the meaning of model, which was first mentioned in Zhang Huaiguan's Shu Duan. People in the Six Dynasties still used it habitually, such as Yang Xin's Cai, and On the Biography of Wei Shou, saying, "Shou is a general, and Jingzhao people are good at regular script." That's the abbreviation of "eight-block method", which didn't replace the name of the official book until the Northern Song Dynasty, and its content was obviously different from the ancient name. There is probably an example of the above.
Regular script is the most popular script in China feudal society from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Jin and Tang Dynasties. Before the appearance of regular script, China calligraphy had produced three styles: Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan and Li Shu. Generally speaking, the ancient characters before Xiao Zhuan are collectively referred to as Da Zhuan, including Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions and six languages except Qin in the Warring States Period. Xiao Zhuan is a popular script after Qin unified China. On the basis of Qin script, refer to other vassal scripts. In order to facilitate writing, it is standardized and unified. This is the first standardized regular script in the history of calligraphy in China. Official script is another representative character after Xiao seal, which is based on Xiao seal. The appearance of official script is a great revolution of Chinese characters. Its significance lies not only in the symbolization of Chinese characters, but also in changing the writing style and aesthetic trend of Chinese characters, thus laying a foundation for the emergence of regular script calligraphy art and further opening up a broad world for the development and prosperity of China calligraphy art. Li Zhimin, a pioneer and professor of Peking University, believed that the unification of six languages by Qin Shihuang was of positive significance to the social progress at that time, but it was not necessarily conducive to the development of calligraphy art.
Therefore, in various calligraphy gardens in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the art of regular script (called official script at that time, that is, assisting seal script to write faster) was directly bred. According to its law, the development history of regular script in China can be divided into four periods: the germination period of regular script-Qin and Han dynasties, the development period of regular script-Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperity period of regular script-Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, and the maturity period of regular script-Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Song Xuanhe's Book Score: "In the early Han Dynasty, Wang Cizhong began to use official script as regular script." The regular script here actually refers to the eight-part essay created by Wang Cizhong, not the so-called regular script today. He added: "On the tomb of Confucius, a regular script tree planted by Zi Gongzhi has straight and unyielding branches." The strokes of regular script are concise and refreshing, and must be like the branches of regular script trees.
