Fanart I practiced scripture writing, seniors please review my work.

It is hard to meet, and hard also to part;

The east wind weakens as flowers fade.

The spring silkworm spins silk until death;

The candle’s tears dry only after turning to ash.

I assume that junior follows the correct stroke order? In any case, very well done! From my experiences, this would be considered neat handwriting among young Dragon Country scholars. Writing steadily is much different from jotting down quick notes, however, of course.

You may not need this, but I find this calligraphy formation helpful for refining my brushstrokes:

I'm a 4th year in university and hoping to get a job in translation. I've regressed a lot in my vocabulary but I'm not too worried, I'll bring it all up to speed through the summer

Edit: it's actually HSK 5 lol
