Hello, I would like to share some relevant knowledge about calligraphy copying for your reference.
What is Lin and what is imitation?
"Copy" and "Lin" are traditional and effective procedures for calligraphy practice. There are two types of "copying": "tracing red" and "shadow grid". The former is filled in directly with an ink pen according to the red calligraphy book printed with red characters, and the latter is described by covering the calligraphy with thin paper and separating paper. In the north, it is also called "jie". ". "Lin" is based on "copy" and is written against the sticker. When practicing and writing programs, you should first copy them and then practice them.
Why copy first and then review?
To practice writing, you must first copy and then practice. This is because when you first learn to write, your hands are not well-trained and your pen is unstable. You must first "copy" for a period of time to lay the foundation. Even for people who already have a certain foundation in writing, they get a new post and are completely unfamiliar with its content. They only think that the words in the post are well written, but they don’t know what is good about it, let alone how to write it. By "copying" writing, you can master the writing style, frame, spirit, and appearance of the calligraphy, and then "copy" it, so that you won't be at a loss.
How to copy?
As mentioned before, "copying" has two steps, namely "drawing red" and "shadow frame".
After getting a poster, we can first select clear and complete words from it, and cover it with transparent and ink-proof thin paper, such as typing paper, glossy paper, sulfuric acid paper, etc. According to the outline of the sticker, use extremely thin lines to hook into hollow characters. This is called "double hook". Then use the double-hook handkerchief as a red tracing book. The first step is to dip it in red ink to fill it in, the second step is to dip it in green ink or pure blue ink to fill it in, and finally fill it in ink. In this way, a double-hook handkerchief can be filled in three times, and finally it becomes a copy of the original handkerchief. Then cover the copy with tissue paper and write "shadow frame".
Can I just write "shadow frame" at the beginning?
If you have a certain foundation in writing, your hands are relatively proficient, and you have a stable grip on the pen, you can also skip "tracing red" and directly write "shadow frame",
The process of "copying" What issues should we pay attention to?
Three points should be paid attention to in the process of "copying": 1. Hook the hollow characters very carefully, and do not make them distorted at all, because if the double hook line is slightly inward, the hooked characters will be smaller than the original ones. The calligraphy on the post is thin; if it is slightly outside, the hooked out character will be fatter than the calligraphy on the post. It must be just on the edge of the calligraphy so as not to be distorted. Second, when writing the red outline, be careful not to write outside the outline of the double hook, otherwise the font will be damaged. Third, when writing "shadow frame", you must also pay attention to follow the calligraphy. If the calligraphy is thick, you should also write it thickly. If the calligraphy is thin, you should also write it thin. Don't just trace the shape of the calligraphy and not pay attention to the stippling.
How long does it take to copy?
Generally speaking, after a post has been "drawn in red" three times (or not drawn in red) and "shadowed" several times, it takes about three or four months to become familiar with the brushwork and structure of the "stand" character. Now that you have a certain degree of confidence when writing, you can start "prompting".
How to come?
There are also two steps in writing a post, namely, "face to face" and "back to face". You should first "face" it for a period of time until the space and structure of the calligraphy are deeply imprinted in your mind, and then "face it with your back".
What is confrontation?
"Opposite Lin", simply put, means writing facing the post. It can also be divided into two steps, first "Ge Lin", and then remove the grid to write. The method of "Ge Lin" is: take a mica sheet or a thin glass sheet or washed waste film, draw a nine-square grid or a rice-character grid according to the size of the calligraphy, and then print the pattern on an exercise book printed with the nine-square grid or rice-character grid. Write. When writing, see clearly which part of the calligraphy is in which part, and write it in that part according to it. After doing this several times, remove the grid and write directly on the post. When writing, it is best to set up the post with a special post stand, place it in front of the table, and write facing it. If there is no standing stand, you can use a few stacked books instead, or use other things instead.
What should we pay attention to when facing Lin?
You must pay attention to each word and write each word, and do not read each word and write each word. Therefore, you must first go through "Gelin" and become familiar with the structure of Tieyu, and then you can "Opposite Lin".
How much larger will the post be compared to the text on the post?
Prompt posts are generally one-third or one-half times larger than the text on the post.
Whether it is facing, facing or facing behind, it is better to enlarge the text than to post it.
What is plagiarism?
“Copying is a common mistake in the process of practicing calligraphy, that is, although you stand facing each other, you only copy the words without consulting the frame or stippling, and just make your own decisions and do whatever you want. This kind of mistake, The most important thing is to avoid it.
What is "backing"? There are two ways to write "backing" from memory: < /p>
One is to write all the words in the post, that is, write them down silently from beginning to end after you are familiar with them; the other is to write down as many words as you are familiar with. All methods can be used, and they can be combined. First write part of the text, and then write all the words.
After dictating, you need to compare it with the original post. If you find that some stipples or frames are different from those on the site, you need to correct them. Rewrite.
Is it considered successful if I can memorize the book?
Is it considered successful if I can write all the books from memory and write them very similar to the postscript? Initial success.
Because this kind of success is not solid, if you just stop writing, it will come back to life after a while, so you must continue to practice unremittingly until you can remember every word in the post very firmly, and the words that are not in the post , you can also use the calligraphy style to write very similar to the calligraphy, and then it can come to an end.
