  • The main differences of those calligraphers are their strokes (brush stroke

    methods) and disposition of strokes (structures or compositions) of each

    character. Also, their spirits are different. 虞世南 has a mild characteristic

    while 歐陽詢 styles are more meticulous, strict, or solemn.

  • When do I feel that I can move onto a different style?

  • They say there are three kinds (or stages) of copying Chinese calligraphy models. One of them is "memorized copying." When we can memorize the character's spirit, structures, and positions of strokes

    better, we may try other styles. If for some reasons if we cannot grasp a new style's spirit and structure, we may move back to the previous style(s) and try to find out our strenghts and weaknesses... That why Chinese say copying a calligraphy model is a good training.

  • Also, how long do I have to practice at least before moving to a different style (same script) of another calligrapher?

  • There is no fixed rule. It depends on the practitioner's understanding, practice schedule, talents, insights, and etc.

  • Well organized presentation.

  • 謝謝
