First, the correct way to learn books
1. Rosefinch
Sticking is the most fundamental way to learn calligraphy. Throughout the ages, no calligrapher has succeeded without temporary study, and no one who writes well has not been posted. Only by imitating traditional things like Tang Kai, Venus, Han Li and Qin Zhuan can we gain something.
concentrated
To learn books, we must first learn from one school, establish a base area, and then develop. There is a question of job selection, and the criteria for job selection are: first, being good at a job, and second, being fond of it. After choosing a position, concentrate on it, study hard and persevere until you look energetic. To test how you are doing during this period, look at your appearance first, then your brushwork.
Learn from others.
When a post or a book is similar in appearance and spirit, it is necessary to widely cover other good posts, absorb and digest their nutrition, and achieve mastery through a comprehensive study.
4. Extraverbal Kung Fu
While practicing calligraphy, you should always read more books, master more knowledge in all aspects, and strengthen your self-cultivation. In short, strengthen the training of extra-word kung fu.
On this basis, gradually form their own style, and then form their own family.
Second, the scientific method of learning books.
After making clear the correct book learning method, we should also master the scientific learning method. Only with scientific learning methods can we get better learning results.
1. Copy to copy.
This is not only the beginning of learning the correct method of books, but also the fundamental point of learning the correct method of books. Be sure, be firm. Copying and copying have their own advantages and different effects. Jiang Kui said in "Continued Book Spectrum":
Linshu is easy to lose the position of the ancients, but easy to get the position of the ancients, copying books is easy to get the position of the ancients, copying books is easy to get and forget.
Among them, "brushwork" refers to brushwork, brushwork and line interest. The way to "face" is to read the copybook and write according to it. As long as you put your heart into it, it is easy to master the brushwork and implication, so as to learn the essence of the model.
The method of "copying" is to cover the post with tissue paper and draw it directly. Therefore, the glyph will basically not go out of shape, and copying it several times will help to grasp the structure. But when copying a book, I can't see the brushwork clearly, which is "easy to lose brushwork". Although the shelf is good, there is no brushwork and the words are rigid.
So beginners can copy and use, learn from each other's strengths.
Step 2 quantify every day
Facts have proved that everything changes from quantitative to qualitative, and so does writing. If you write too little and can't keep up with practice, you can't talk about progress.
Of course, when you are tired, blind mechanical writing is ineffective. A certain amount can achieve a certain effect, and a better amount can achieve a better effect.
brick by brick
Learning calligraphy, on the basis of diligent study and hard practice, should also understand that it is a gradual process:
(1) Block letters first, then cursive.
Su Shi said:
Real growth leads to growth and growth leads to grass. Really like standing, walking like walking, grass like walking.
In other words, writing, walking and cursive writing are just like standing, walking and running. How can people walk and run if they can't even stand up?
If you don't have the basis of regular script, writing cursive script directly will be negligent and frivolous. Running script and cursive script are the flow, convenience, sparse and scattered of regular script. After learning regular script well, it is easy to use cursive script by strengthening the fluency of pen. When you are proficient in calligraphy, you can realize the similarities between the two when you write cursive. The two can complement each other, promote each other and complement each other.
② First stippling, then structure, then composition.
Calligraphy is the art of lines, that is, the art based on basic stippling. If the basic stippling is not good, the artistry of the whole word or article is out of the question.
Because the pen tip is hard, the change of lines is much simpler, so the study of pen calligraphy takes more time in structure and less time in using pen and stippling. But that doesn't mean it's not important to draw with a pen. Instead, it is the basic skill of pen calligraphy. Only after the basic skills of stippling writing are solid can we grasp the structure.
With a certain foundation in structure, the composition of the whole word is easy to master.
I hope the above viewpoints are helpful to the study of book lovers.
