Features: The natural talent and hard work of a calligraphy learner cannot be neglected. Natural talent cannot be forced, but hard work should be sought within oneself. Though calligraphy is a minor art, one must have a firm and lofty aspiration. One must not be easily swayed by external differences or give up halfway, as such inconsistency hinders progress. Therefore, aspiration must be firm. Moreover, if one's ambition is not high, their mind will not be broad, their interest will decline, and this greatly affects progress. Thus, aspiration must also be lofty.
