@chumcg Thank you for your nice words.

Per our Chinese culture, it's recommended to copy the original masters' models rather than a comtemporary's work. As in 001Asoer's channel, Prof. Tian has explained in his video "Students of Chinese calligraphy, don't copy me. 書法學者毋臨今人 "

I'm still copying from different masters of each style. And that how I developed. If you follow this tradition, I believe you may benefit the most from those masterpieces rather than being confined by a contemporary. In our culture, it's generally believed the ancient masterpieces have more depth and will cultivate your development of personal calligraphy style to a higher level while a contemporary's work might make your artistic path convenient but not insightful for the long term.

I still have to tell you that your shufa is excellent. There is a teacher here that is supposed to be famous, but I don't think his kai shu is very good (or any of the styles he does), but yours is amazing.

Thank you.

Every teacher has something different to offer. My first teacher only does one style (Yan Zhengqing style) in his lifetime - so I practiced only that style for seven years before learning other styles.
