橫平豎直的精神

It is crucial to study regular script at first， for it is the simplest style and easier to learn compared with other scripts. Regular script is not only the basis but also the peak among Five Scripts. If we cannot write it neatly， how can we study further？ Many people can write a good hand but only a few of them could become real calligraphers.

五體之中，楷書是基礎(chǔ)，最簡單，習字必先楷法，橫平豎直都寫不好便沒有“資格”去鳳舞龍飛；眾書之間，楷書又是一大高峰，寫好最難，即便寫好了橫平豎直也未必能寫出書法之神韻，成為真正的書法家，單單能做到規(guī)整的不過是寫字匠。
