The so-called method is almost superior, that is, choosing the best tablet. The ancients said, "Take the law." Take the law and you will get it. "This means that if you choose a high-level copybook, the starting point is high. If you learn well, the effect can at least reach the middle level of copybook. If you choose ordinary copybooks, the learning effect will be inferior. For beginners of calligraphy, we should choose the masterpieces of famous calligraphers of all ages to learn, because those are excellent works that have been proved and recognized over time. So we won't take detours or take fewer detours.
(2) Choose copybooks with strict statutes
Beginners writing, rigorous copybooks, should start from the rules. Sun said in Book Score that there are three stages in learning calligraphy. The first stage focuses on fairness, and we should choose copybooks with strict laws as a model for beginners. Some copybooks, ancient and elegant, are the works of calligraphers in their later years. Although the artistic realm is high, they are not suitable for beginners. There are also some copybooks, which are messy and rough, with strong personality and high artistic value, and are not suitable for beginners.
(3) Choose copybooks that suit both refined and popular tastes.
For beginners of calligraphy, we should choose beautiful and practical copybooks to study and pursue the effect of appealing to both refined and popular tastes. The "elegance" here refers to elegant style and pure style; "Vulgarity" means popularity, which is easy for everyone to accept. Generally speaking, this kind of copybook must be accurate in pen, beautiful in structure and rigorous in statutes. Those calligraphy works with strange styles, grotesque shapes and ugliness as beauty are certainly outside the scope of beginners.
(4) Choose your favorite copybook.
It is also an excellent tablet. Some people like it here, others like it there. You can't force uniformity when choosing a tablet. You should respect your personal interests. As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. I can't help imitating and learning my favorite words, which makes me feel relaxed and happy to write. The reason why I like them must be in line with my inner temperament. With this fit, it is easy to get started and you can see the learning effect.
(5) Choose a copybook with a good version.
Copyright can be divided into rubbings and ink copies. The ink book is clear and clear, and the strokes are clear; The stele extension is vast and simple, with a golden stone flavor. These two types of copybooks should be studied by reference. If the same copybook has both an ink book and an engraving based on the ink book, it is better to choose an ink book instead of an engraving. Because piracy may be distorted. Choose rubbings of inscriptions as copybooks. The earlier the rubbings, the better. Modern printing technology can make the quality of printed matter comparable to that of the original tablet computer, which brings great convenience to our choice of tablet computer. However, you can't choose a version with poor printing quality, and some imitations and restorations are not suitable. Although the revised edition has clear handwriting, it has lost the charm of the original tablet extension.
