When we learned to write when we were young, we always imitated other people's handwriting first. After all, we were still young at that time and didn't even know a few words. We practice calligraphy purely for the sake of writing beautifully, without thinking about writing calligraphy in our own style. As we grow older and practice calligraphy beautifully, we will begin to figure out our own style and let others know who wrote it as soon as they see it.

But for most people, practicing calligraphy is limited to this, and we will not continue to study it in depth. After all, we don't want to be calligraphers, so naturally we don't need to write beautiful words.

It is normal for us to imitate calligraphers' handwriting, and we don't regard it as the capital to make money, but some people don't think so. Some people with beautiful fonts really regard this craft as a tool for eating. They will set up stalls in the street and make a living by selling words.

Of course, the prices of the words written by these people are also relatively low. Unlike real calligraphers, each word is worth tens of millions. Because their fonts are imitated and have not formed their own style, their ornamental value is not high.

Generally speaking, people who like to practice calligraphy are mostly people with stable jobs and high education, so they have time and leisure to pursue art, and some rich people even buy calligraphers' original works at high prices. However, there is no distinction between rich and poor in art, and anyone can pursue art as long as he is willing. For example, there is a rural woman in Hunan who likes to copy calligraphers' works. After years of hard practice, her calligraphy has really achieved little.

This woman named Li Yanhong is a typical rural woman in Hunan. Like all rural women, she has no education. Every day, she goes up the mountain to chop wood, cultivates in the fields or does housework at home. She is often so busy all day that she has no time to rest. But it is such an ordinary rural woman who has completely different hobbies from others. Her hobby is practicing calligraphy.

It turned out that Li Yanhong fell in love with calligraphy because of her early experience. At that time, she was still young and once worked as a nanny in an old cadre's home. When old cadres are free, one of their favorite things is to practice calligraphy. Regular script writing is particularly good and square, just like printing. Li Yanhong often watches veteran cadres write, and after reading more, he becomes interested, so he decides to practice calligraphy by himself.

Later, Li Yanhong resigned and returned to the countryside, but she didn't give up her hobby. After she finished her work in the countryside, she didn't play cards and chat to kill time like other rural women, but took out pen and ink and practiced calligraphy at home.

Because Li Yanhong's education level is not high, and his handwriting is ugly at first, she specially bought a book by a master calligrapher to practice calligraphy. Unexpectedly, after a while, her font really changed and her handwriting became more and more beautiful.

When her husband found her hobby, he was taken aback, but thinking that practicing calligraphy was better than playing cards, he let his wife go. Because Li Yanhong never took a brush and was used to doing rough work, she didn't know how to master strength, so at first, she made slow progress.

Later, in order to learn calligraphy well, I found a local calligrapher, Mr. Cao, and asked him to teach her to write. Mr. Cao is very easygoing. Seeing that Li Yanhong really wanted to learn calligraphy, he readily agreed to teach her to write.

Under the guidance of Mr. Cao, progress has been rapid. Later, she not only learned the posture of holding a pen, but also learned how to grasp the strength and write better.

In a blink of an eye, Li Yanhong has practiced calligraphy for 20 years. Under her diligent study and practice, her regular script writing is very beautiful, which has been praised by many people, and some even deliberately spent hundreds of dollars to buy her handwriting. This made Li Yanhong very happy. He felt that his efforts were not in vain. His hard-working calligraphy for many years has finally been recognized by others.

However, some experts say that her calligraphy is worthless, because her calligraphy is imitated from the master of calligraphy and has not formed its own style and characteristics. Fonts have no charm and no ornamental value. Maybe these people are right, but Li Yanhong doesn't care. She studied calligraphy only because of her hobby, and never thought of becoming a calligrapher. For her, as long as her words can be recognized by others, that is enough.

Li Yanhong is just an ordinary rural woman, but she has the courage to pursue her hobbies, which is admirable. As for whether her handwriting is good or not, it depends on what the individual thinks.
