都说看字如看人，“颜体”和你的个性也很像啊，大器率真！虽然“楷书四大家”里，我比较欣赏柳公权的“柳体”。

They say that you can tell a person's nature by their calligraphy. The Yan style seems quite suited to your personality, talented and candid! Although, of the four regular script styles, I prefer Liu Gongquan's Liu style.

哇，难得从你这儿听到褒奖哦，真是受宠若惊，“柳体”较“颜体”更均匀瘦硬些，点画爽利挺秀，笔力非常遒劲。

Yeah, simply speaking the Yan style is fuller, while the Liu style is finer, so historically there has been the saying "Yan provides the muscle, while Liu provides the bones". Practicing calligraphy cultivates one's moral character and spirit, it's also an artistic training, it's great!
