For example, Chu Suiliang's Preface to the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, Mencius' tablet, Yan Zhenqing's inscription, Yiying tablet and other famous monuments are all good posts for beginners.
Never practice cursive script, cursive script and cursive script, because you pay attention to every stroke, and those who are not familiar with ancient books generally can't practice well.
1, how to practice good handwriting
To practice good handwriting, we must first start with block letters, which is the same as walking when people were young. First of all, they learned to walk before they learned to run. Without steady steps, it is impossible to run fast. The whole process of practicing calligraphy requires patience and can't give up easily. You can do it step by step. ?
Go to the bookstore and pick your favorite block letters. Describe it with transparent white paper (which will be found in the copy) before copying it. The order of description and copying must be followed and shall not be changed at will. To practice block letters, we must first start with the basic strokes, that is, the points, horizontal, vertical, strokes, strokes, hooks and folds that we learned as children. This seems simple, but it's not easy, because our writing habits for many years are deeply rooted, and the irregular strokes we write can't be changed just by changing them. Practice the basic strokes separately. After practicing one, practice another, and then continue to write.
The general rule is: practice basic strokes first, then practice regular script; Practice the stroke order again; Third, practice radicals; Four-practice glyph structure; Practice branch layout.
Practicing block letters well is the most basic foundation of other fonts. It is no exaggeration to say that block letters are the basis of other fonts. Practice two or three pages a day, draw first and then copy? As long as you stick to it for a month or two, it will certainly have an effect and enhance your confidence.
2. Writing posture and writing?
(1) Sit up straight, with your shoulders flat, your back straight, your body and head straight, not low. The eyes are about one foot away from the desktop, and the chest is about three inches away from the edge of the table.
(2) Hold the pen straight, the nib should be straight, and it is forbidden to tilt inward (as long as the palm is flat, the nib will naturally move forward); The tip of the index finger is about an inch from the nib. If the pen is not straight or the nib is tilted inward, it is difficult to write well and it is difficult to write well. Even if you write with a pen, you should move your right hand. At the same time, the lines written have no backbone and rhythm, and the font is not generous.
(3) Inclination of the pen: the pen with big letters is upward, the inclination of the pen is slightly larger, and the small letters are downward, and the inclination of the pen is slightly smaller. Generally, the slope should be inclined at the index finger joint, and the strokes written here are either rigid and flexible. The inclination of the pen is not suitable, and the speed of using the pen is limited, so you can't write floating and verve glyphs, so you shouldn't tilt at the "tiger's mouth".
(4) Hold the pen easily and then move freely; Hold the pen too tightly, and the written words will not be open and generous. According to the middle school lecture, in a class of 50 students, 45 students hold the pen incorrectly or the tip of the pen tilts inward, and so does the university. It is precisely for this reason that these students' handwriting is not like a hook, and the strokes are piled horizontally.
As I said before, writing is good or bad, and posture is absolutely related to writing. Just like a carpenter sawing wood, if the posture and grip of the saw are incorrect, even if the "line" is drawn straight, it will be sawed askew. This is the same as writing good words.
