A single script book can be copied for a period of time, or even for a lifetime. However, copying is merely a means to enter the script, through which one masters the brushwork, structural rules, and compositional variations of the script. Exiting the script is the ultimate goal. Simply put, initial exiting means writing freely without referring to the script, so that any character can achieve the form and spirit of the original script. Of course, this requires a long learning process. Many calligraphy enthusiasts often focus more on entering the script and less on exiting practice, making it difficult to succeed when creating in a certain script style. Collected character exercises serve as an important intermediate step between entering and exiting the script, as well as a good way to evaluate the effectiveness of copying. "Xiling Seal Society Collected Character Works Series" will be a great helper in your calligraphy learning journey.
