What should I pay attention to when practicing calligraphy? How should adults practice calligraphy and choose posts?
You can choose your favorite font to practice, and once you choose it, don't change it easily. The process of choosing fonts is called post selection. On the basis of selecting posts, it goes through five steps: reading posts, describing posts, copying posts, carrying posts and creating posts. The first step is to read the post. We all know the pronunciation of the posted Chinese characters, so we don't need to read them any more. Read what? Read fonts, read structures, read strokes, and analyze the relationship between stroke characteristics and strokes of Chinese characters. For example, when we read the word "Zhong" in bold, we should read that a vertical line of the word "Zhong" passes through the middle of the word "Kou", and the horizontal length of the word "Kou" is slightly flat. The long vertical line in the middle is divided into two sections with the same length by the lower horizontal line of the word "Kou", and the upper horizontal line of the word "Kou" is divided into two sections with the same length. This is an interpretation of glyphs and structures. The second step is tracking. "Tracing" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners use a blue pen to trace the printed red copybook along the handwriting. "Imitation" refers to copying the post, that is, covering the model words with transparent paper and writing them one by one along the shadow of the words on the paper, which is also called writing imitation. The third step is to post. It means to put the copybook aside and watch the copybook written on the homework paper word by word. This method is helpful to master the brushwork and meaning of Chinese characters, but it is not easy to master the structure of Chinese characters. The fourth step is to recite the post. Refers to the method of removing the copybook on the basis of copying, recalling the font on the copybook according to your own memory and writing it on the homework paper. This is a key step in practicing calligraphy. Only by carefully examining the words you read and write, can you write accurately. When writing, if you can see the exact font of the Chinese characters to be written on white paper, so that "the words are on the paper and the words are on the chest", it is not a problem to write a good hand. The fifth step is creation. On the basis of mastering the writing method of the words on the copybook, I learned the writing method of the words not on the copybook by analogy. According to the needs of self-expression, writing a paragraph with center, content and self-contained system is creation. Attention: first, when practicing calligraphy, you should be calm, start well and finish well, and you should not be impetuous and perfunctory. When you write, you should be meticulous, and every stroke should be true. Second, choose your favorite font and keep practicing. Third, we should combine learning with application and practice with writing. The words we have practiced are usually used, and we should write as well as we practiced. It is necessary to practice and use it, use it in middle school, use it in school, and combine learning with use. The traditional way to learn calligraphy is to start from Tang Kai, and practice Nanbei Han Liqin seal script on the basis of writing regular script in reverse time. Another way of thinking is that starting from the immature characteristics of young people's hand muscles, we can start from Qin Zhuan, which has not changed much, from cursive script to regular script. These two concepts have their own reasons. However, I think the hard pen calligraphy we learn is essentially different from the brush calligraphy mentioned above. We can't follow its practice method, and we can't be confused by the traditional concept of learning brush first and then learning hard pen. Hard pen is widely used now. If you can't write China's calligraphy well, you can still write well. There is no need to take a detour. What font should I practice in hard pen writing? In my opinion, starting from the characteristics of young people's hand muscle development and the characteristics of uniform strokes and less changes in hard pen calligraphy, we should start with fonts that never require fast strokes and heavy changes. It is best to print in bold. The beauty of this font mainly lies in its structure. We can master the structure of fonts by trying to figure out and analyzing bold. On this basis, you can choose your favorite font according to your personality and hobbies and practice hard.
