Copy first and then meet. Generally speaking, practice patterns first, then lines, and then grass. As follows:
Copying is a very important learning method. Before putting the copybook on file, observe the shape, structure and strokes of the words, understand their spirit, and then write imitation. It is easy to grasp the meaning of copybooks, but it is not enough to grasp the structural position of words.
When learning calligraphy, we should take copying calligraphy as the key to entering the room and lay a good foundation. The more times, the wider the scope and the stronger the foundation. Sticking to your post requires eye-to-eye, eye-to-eye, hand-to-hand, and what you see in your eyes can be expressed and displayed in your pen.
Three methods of temporary posting: facing the present
Put the templates in front of you and be sure to read them one by one at the beginning.
Beilin
Don't look at the template, just remember the words by impression.
place with great collections of classic books
When writing a model, pursue the spirit and the overall artistic conception.
Post-professional field:
It can be divided into three levels: eye-to-eye, hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart. Among them, the latter two levels are vague at present; If you don't have a clear understanding of this, it will definitely affect the future creative level.
Let's talk first
"eye to eye"
This level is what Sun said in the Tang Dynasty: "The viewer is still refined". We should carefully study the brushwork, structure and composition of the characters in the law posts, not only grasp the form of strokes statically, but also understand the echo relationship between stippling and painting dynamically. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Kui said in "Continued Book Spectrum": "The characters have hidden front and blush all over their faces. It is best to connect them from top to bottom, regardless of their beginning and end. Those who learn later, as they remember, draw their shapes but fail to include them, all of which are fragmented and unconnected. " In structure, we should not only see the arrangement of lines in space, but also pay attention to the distribution of blanks. Da Zhongguang's "Book Raft" in Qing Dynasty said: "Black is measured, and white is pure cloth." That is to say, to understand the principle of spatial distribution. In the overall composition, we should pay attention to the spacing between words, the positive relationship, the dryness of the original legal posts and other factors. The ancients emphasized that the rules and regulations should be "consistent in change" and "like the method of brocade, the flowers should be suitable." At this stage, the main solution is to improve the observation ability and see the nuances of the law posts. Many temporary learners have to be careless. On the whole, it seems that it is not far from the original post, but it lacks a lot of details, which is no different from copying books. The beauty of predecessors is often in a stroke, even in a small gesture, just as the beauty of beauty is often in a frown and anger. Therefore, Wang Sengqian said: "Slight retreat, life and death." Jiang Kui said: "When my husband copied it, it looked different and there was no distortion, so it was very important." At this time, the eyes should be like a magnifying glass, which can enlarge the details that ordinary people can't notice. Whether you can "touch your eyes" determines whether you can "touch your hands". Therefore, trainees should not look after them blindly and mechanically, but should read more posts and observe more.
"hand in hand"
This realm is the most basic link in the posting process. Sun said, "The mind is not tired of essence, but the hands are not tired of familiarity." The so-called "reaching out" means not only the similarity in appearance, but also the similarity in spirit. To achieve a similar situation, it is natural to write slowly, but to be skilled and fast (relatively speaking). And they are a pair of contradictions. You must be good at it to be late. Therefore, the ancients said: "Take advantage of the late, take advantage of the strong. You must hurry first, but you can be late when you are free. If you can't do things quickly, there will be no air; If you specialize in speed, you will lose more strength. " In boxing, reaching out is the key. When the two sides fight, once they get the opportunity, they must reach Aote faster, so as to defeat the enemy, otherwise they will lose their fighters. This shows the importance of technical accuracy. In fact, the realm of "within reach" is a difficult road for a person who studies calligraphy. Among many apprentices, not many can really do this. There are two main reasons: first, at the beginning, it failed to reach the realm of "an eye for an eye"; Second, the mentality is impetuous, and copying kung fu has not yet arrived. This is the same as learning the martial arts of Tai Chi Chuan. If the boxing frame can't reach the accuracy of this skill, how can we talk about actual combat? At present, many learners' understanding of the motto "imitators are precious" is rather vague, and the meaning of a word "like" is far from being as simple as imagined.
About; In all parts of; about
"the heart is in harmony"
Realm, should be reached the final requirements of the post. On the other hand, when many contemporary calligraphers mention their post experiences, they all say that they have been to many posts, how many times or even hundreds of times a post has been visited. However, it is difficult to see how much essence they have absorbed from their works. One of the two most common situations is that some writers have mentioned that they have been in the position of "two kings" such as "Preface to Lanting" for many years, but there is no charm of "two kings" in their works. If you don't want to absorb the nutrition of the "two kings" from the creative motivation at all, that is of course another matter; But since I took the time to meet the "two kings", why didn't I even mean to catch shadows? On the other hand, although some formal factors are reflected in the creation, they are all stylized and lack flexibility, not to mention the word verve. The above questions make the author start to think about the "heart-to-heart" problem of posting. Although "handy" shows that posting has reached the level of accuracy, it actually stays at the technical level and fails to really grasp the author's inner life rhythm. The so-called "similarity in form and spirit" is just a profound understanding of the external form of pen and ink. Although it is very rare to achieve this step, we must "feel" if we want to have a far-reaching impact on the creation at the spiritual level-touch the heartstrings of our predecessors when they wave their hands. Just like the wisdom of the six ancestors to Buddhism, it reaches the mind and then becomes enlightened. Wang Sengqian said in "A Praise to the Style of Writing": "The wonderful way of a book is that the spirit comes first, followed by the form and quality. Only those who have both can get the praise of the ancients ... it will make the heart forget the pen, the hand forget the book, the heart is close to love, and the book is not missed, which means that it is impossible to ask, and the test will be obvious. " The highest realm of creation is "forget the pen with your heart, forget the book with your hand, and express your feelings with your heart", so the highest realm of copying should be the same. To do this, we need to experience and explore more spiritually. As for the Preface to Lanting, we should not only pursue its formal compulsion, but also be familiar with the content of Lanting Preface on the basis of fully understanding the social and cultural background of Wei and Jin Dynasties and Wang Xizhi's own ideological character, transplant the thoughts and feelings in this article into our own hearts, deeply taste the unique spiritual "medicinal liquor" of Wei and Jin scholars, and strive to let the aftertaste of this wine penetrate into your historical thoughts. When you seem to hear Wang Xizhi and others sigh about life, maybe you will no longer stick to the fixed form of a painting stuck in Lanting, but reach the height of your heart and hands. Zhang Huaiguan in the Tang Dynasty said in "Preface to the End": "If you think about the sages and philosophers of the Millennium, look at history and turn it into something, seek it, do it with embarrassment, and look at it deeply, so that it is still feasible for a hundred generations." When my husband is around, he will sympathize with Wan Li, show great ambition and wear a seal to see the traces. He is as happy as he met. "Although here is to discuss the role of calligraphy, it is also a specific requirement for reaching the highest level in the post. At the same time, it also shows that calligraphy is not only a skill form, but also has profound cultural connotation. This naturally requires us to go beyond the technical level and enter the field of cultural spirit to understand the traditions of our predecessors. The so-called "heart orientation" is to highlight this cultural significance in the invitation.

Inscription rubbings
It is an important form of the preservation and dissemination of ancient books in China. A monument refers to a monument engraved with stones. Or a stone tablet erected after processing, commonly known as "monument". Judging from the oldest stone tablet in China, there is no inscription. The vertical stone is only used as some kind of sign, or as some kind of mark. Since Qin Shihuang, people have carved words on stone tablets to record their achievements. By the Han dynasty, the application of inscriptions had become very common. As top officials, they have to carve a stone and set up a monument to record their achievements. As a folk, they erected stone tablets in temples, roadsides or graves to commemorate Tessa or his late ancestors. At this time, they are called stone tablets. The place with the most monuments is called "Monument". Xi 'an's forest of steles is world-famous even though it is very big. A copybook is to engrave the handwriting of predecessors on a stone tablet or a wooden board and then print it into a copybook. Postal service originated in the Tang Dynasty and has been widely used since Li Shimin.
The use of stone tablets
Is to learn and appreciate. There are so many inscriptions in our country that it is impossible to see thousands all over the world, so we should choose a purposeful and focused model as the learning model. Requirements:
Excellent ancient inscriptions and fonts should be selected. Generally speaking, you should learn regular script first. The stippling is standardized, rich in brushwork, correct in structure and regular in statutes, which embodies the rules of using pens and structure in calligraphy art and is most convenient for beginners to lay the foundation. We should choose the first-class inscriptions handed down from generation to generation, which can stand the test of history and have a high level to learn. This is of great help to learn the basic skills of calligraphy, such as correct brushwork and knot principle, and to explore the rules of calligraphy art.
In terms of style, because there are many different styles of calligraphy schools in China, we should choose representative, moderately difficult, suitable and favorite ones.
