Actually, in some respects, the seven-pointed image is similar enough. Copying is for us to learn the composition of calligraphy, master the corresponding tips, and understand the characteristics of fonts... Copying should be like it, but you can't be complacent, because copying is not to make you a "copying machine", then you might as well give it to the copier directly Forget about copying.

"Copy the seven-point image" comes from the first half of a sentence said by Mr. Kai. The complete sentence should be "Copy the seven-point image plus three points of personality" , you can become a calligrapher." This statement caused a lot of controversy, and many people questioned whether seven points was too little.

In fact, copying is a necessary process for us to learn calligraphy. Some beginners will fall into a misunderstanding, that is, copying must be very similar. In fact, copying is not the purpose of learning calligraphy. Copying calligraphy is not a day's work, it requires a step-by-step process. At the beginning of copying calligraphy, "very similar" should be used as the criterion, but it is taboo to make "copies" of calligraphy. When learning calligraphy, the most important principle is to learn the complete information of the copybook, not to copy mechanically. In fact, it is difficult to achieve "perfect resemblance" when copying calligraphy.
Write calligraphy stroke by stroke
Copying of copybooks needs to be based on a "degree", and copying only needs to be above the "degree". The writing technique that reaches above "degree" is in compliance with the rules, and there is no problem with the structure of the characters. Copying does not need to be exactly the same, and strictness is a taboo. Copybooks are dead, but people are "living". Copying from copybooks needs to be based on verve, and it needs to be handled flexibly. The same is true for calligraphy copywriting, which does not need to be written as if it were carved on a stone tablet.
Calligraphy stroke practice
A calligrapher who can become a master of calligraphy will have his own characteristics and style when writing calligraphy. Even if they copy, they do not write rigidly, but embody their own style while copying closely. For example, Mr. Qi Gong's copy of "Mysterious Pagoda Stele" is not very similar, but the charm is still there. He used Liu Gongquan's calligraphy as the cornerstone, carefully tasted its charm, internalized it as self-knowledge, and was inclusive, so as to obtain the Qi Gong version. "Mysterious Tower Stele", this is the real Mr. Qi Gong, a model of great strength.

Of course, we are not against beginners taking copying as a goal, but when copying, they must not be rigid or isolated. To understand the suggestions given by everyone on calligraphy, you should add your own understanding and treat them specially according to your own situation.
