How to start learning Chinese (or Japanese) Calligraphy v 2.0

Changelogs: rewrite a lot of stuff

A short primer on what you need to buy and how to start doing Chinese calligraphy as a long-term hobby.

Some prior notes

• If you can find a teacher, a teacher is going to be better than any advice I can give here.
• More importantly than anything else I can say here: it's important to enjoy yourself. Calligraphy is a long journey and a long commitment, and burnout is a very real thing.

nxh's idea for a conlang dictionary plugin

things marked with two question marks (??) are not required for my usecase, but might be nice, especially if I want this to be a bit more generally usable

schema

• a dictionary consists of multiple entries
• an entry consists of:
  • a headword
  • (one or more) definitions for said word
• also store roots for derived words (such as compounds)
