The course includes36professional lessons, built on a clear progression from fundamentals → advancement → application.

Next, you’ll learn the correct brush-holding method (five-finger coordination: thumb supports, index presses, middle hooks), proper sitting posture (one-fist distance, eyes aligned vertically), and practice essential brush-control techniques such as the Eight-Direction Stroke and spiral movements.

Then, you’ll move on to the eight fundamental brush strokes – horizontal, vertical, left-falling, right-falling, dot, turning, hook, and upward – before mastering17high-frequency Chinese characters such as 人 (person), 口 (mouth), 月 (moon), 天 (sky), 永 (eternity), 国 (nation), 山 (mountain), and more.

Every lesson is clearly structured to help you avoid the confusion of “learning bits and pieces” and instead build a solid, systematic understanding of Regular Script (Kaishu) step by step.
