How to learn Chinese calligraphy well?

Question 1: How can I write Chinese brush characters well? The "Chinese brush characters" mentioned here refer to Chinese brush characters written according to the traditional statutes, rather than words written casually with a brush. It is the first stage of learning calligraphy. How to write Chinese calligraphy well is a very complicated and specific problem, which can't be thoroughly explained in a thousand-character essay. This paper only conceptually suggests some basic essentials for writing Chinese calligraphy well.

If you want to write Chinese calligraphy well, you must master the brushwork and calligraphy.

the first thing is to write. Su Dongpo said: "There is no fixed way to write a pen, so it should be empty and wide." This paper introduces the commonly used "five-finger pen-holding method": that is, hold the pen holder with the fingertips of the thumb and forefinger (appropriate height) to ensure that the pen holder does not fall off; The middle finger is placed on the outside of the pen under the index finger, which not only strengthens the power of the index finger to pinch the pen, but also plays the role of hooking the pen in; When the nail of the ring finger touches the inside of the pen, it plays the role of pushing the pen outward; The little finger is attached to the lower part of the finger belly of the ring finger to help the ring finger push the pen outward. When holding a pen, as the ancients said, "Make the palm as empty as holding an egg", which is convenient for carrying a pen. To learn books, you should often practice holding the pen, hooking it back, pushing it out and rotating the pen holder (plus the role of the wrist) and drawing straight lines and arcs. The level of writing and whether to hang your wrist or elbow depends on the size of the words written. The small words are held low and the wrist is pillow. Hold the big characters high and hang your wrists; No matter how big it is, you need to hang your elbow.

Calligraphy is a plastic art of lines. The so-called brushwork is mainly about how to create ideal lines (stippling).

push. When the pen is pressed to write, the strokes are thick, and when it is lifted, it is fine. Just like a person's two feet when walking, one falls and the other lifts, and keeps alternating, the pen is also constantly pressing in the process of writing. Only in this way can we produce lines with different thicknesses.

every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: writing, writing and receiving. There is a method of "exposing the front" when entering the pen, so that the beginning of the stroke is pointed or square; There is a method of "hiding the front", in which the front enters the pen, the horizontal painting wants to be right first and the vertical painting wants to go down first, so that the front of the pen is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically circular. When writing, you should learn to "use the pen by the center" so that the front tip often runs in the middle of the stroke. In order to make the strokes more powerful, we should learn to use the pen in a unsmiling way, leaving lines in the middle and lines in the middle, so as to avoid glitz. There are "exposed front" (the pen is gradually lifted out of the paper, and the painting is pointed, such as hanging the needle vertically, skimming, pressing and hooking) and "hidden front" (the pen tip is retracted into the painting, such as hanging vertically, and the end of the stroke is round).

The knot is also called the knot structure or the shelf structure. Mr. Qi Gong once pointed out that to write brush strokes, we should grasp the structure of the shelf and practice the characteristics of strokes. Frame structure is more important than pointillism. The characters with good spacing are not prominent in stroke characteristics, but also pleasing to the eye; Not the other way around. Therefore, it is very important to carefully study and grasp the law of the structure of good words. The so-called "beginner distribution, but seeking fairness".

learning to write should start with regular script or official script. After mastering all kinds of brushwork, you will have a foundation to learn other calligraphy styles. Sticking is a necessary means to practice good handwriting. If you don't stick to the post, you can't write it by yourself. To learn to write Chinese calligraphy, you must have perseverance and perseverance, be persistent, guard against arrogance and rashness, and not be exposed to the cold at once. It is often said: "As long as you work hard, the iron pestle is ground into a needle". As long as you stick to the rules of study, you will certainly learn something.

question 2: how to learn Chinese calligraphy well (self-study is required)? Calligraphy has five forms: seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. Many people who study calligraphy by themselves don't know where to start, what kind of script to learn, what kind of font to learn and what kind of copybook to learn.

most people and I think that beginners should be based on regular script, but some people think that they should learn from official script. The arrangement of regular script structure is just the middle stage. It evolved from the official script. If the regular script is written flat and flat, the brushwork of Gabor is the official script. Writing simply and flowing is running script, and writing simply and cursing is now grass. If we start from official script, it is difficult to master the brushwork of regular script, because the brushwork of regular script is richer and more complicated than official script. It can be seen that practicing the basic skills of regular script can be used as the basis for practicing and writing each body.

With the basic knowledge of regular script, master the shelf structure and brushwork of regular script, and then write Wei Bei, official script, running script and cursive script. Even seal script can get twice the result with half the effort. Regular script can enrich and change the structure of Wei Bei and Lishu, such as Zhu Suiliang's regular script; The penetration of regular script into running script and cursive brushwork can increase agility, such as some regular script inscriptions by Zhao Meng.

Some beginners are eager to practice running script and cursive script. Because they don't have the basic skills of regular script, they write "while flying like a dragon and flying phoenix", but they don't have the basic rules of fonts and the basic skills of strokes, which results in half the effort.

The best way to practice regular script is to paste it, no matter whose copybook it is, it won't make people feel simple. If anyone is simple, I'm afraid it's already the only one for the initial practice of calligraphy. In fact, you can choose any stickers, such as Yan, Ou, Liu and Zhao, according to your own preferences, but try to buy better quality copybooks when buying tablet stickers.

If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools first. It is very important to practice brush writing and choose the right brush.

There are many kinds of writing brushes. Generally speaking, writing pens can be divided into three categories: soft, hard and neutral. Soft pens, such as sheep hair and chicken hair. Hard pens include purple hair (rabbit hair), wolf hair, mouse hair and so on. The neutral (neither soft nor hard) pen is called "doubled both brush", and there are two kinds: sheep purple and sheep wolf.

For beginners, if you use a hard brush from the beginning, you don't need many skills to carry the brush, which is more convenient, because the pen will help you a lot, but over time, you can only use a hard brush, and once you pick up a sheep's brush, you will feel unable to move. On the contrary, if you practice calligraphy with a sheep's brush when you are a beginner, although it is more difficult at first, you must use the method of lifting and pressing to change the front to write qualified strokes, but you also learn the method of using soft brush, and with the increase of contact time, you will gradually become handy and apply it freely. At this time, if you pick up a hard brush to write, you will feel relaxed.

The ancients also had a lot of experience in the use of pens. I think it is not easy to buy a good and expensive pen when I am a beginner, but I advocate using a bad pen, because if you can write good words with a bad pen, you will be more comfortable and write better with a good pen. On the contrary, if you start with a good pen, you will only use a good pen all your life, and once you encounter a poor pen, you will not be able to write well. Of course, you can't practice calligraphy with a poor pen, which will increase the difficulty for beginners. Ou Yangxun, a great calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, recorded that "if you don't choose paper and pen, you will achieve your goal", which was praised by Yu Shinan of the same age.

In addition, from the economic point of view, authentic wolf-brush pens are very expensive, and good "Dalanzhu" costs one or two hundred yuan each, while ordinary sheep-brush pens only cost two or three yuan, and a little better five or six yuan each is enough. Moreover, because the pen is hard, it is easy to wear and tear, and its use time is not long, while the pen is soft and durable. It is economical for beginners to buy a sheep's hair pen.

before you buy a pen, you should also know the model of the brush. Brushes are divided into small letters, medium letters and large letters due to different styles, and the biggest ones are screen pens, couplet pens, bucket pens and planting pens. Due to the different names and brands of each pen factory, their sizes are also different. Beginners can buy a pen with a long front, the length of which is about four or five centimeters, and the diameter is about one centimeter. Such a brush can write seven centimeters square in block letters. It is more suitable for people who have just learned Chinese calligraphy.

There are many kinds of brushes. When learning for the first time, I hope you will choose the "doubled both brush" lake brush. Because doubled both brush's Hu Pen is hard and easy to master, it is very important for your future study. Let me talk about why you don't use "Yang Hao" and "Wolf Hao", because the former is soft and difficult to master, and the latter is hard and suitable for freehand brushwork.

When choosing a pen tip, we should choose an appropriate length, because the pen tip is too long to master, but the pen tip length can contain a lot of ink, which is suitable for writing cursive script in one go. The pen tip length can ensure enough ink, whereas the short pen tip is suitable for writing regular script, which is easy to master.

question 3: how do beginners write Chinese calligraphy well? The "brush character" mentioned here refers to the brush character written according to the traditional statutes, rather than the character written casually with a brush. How to write Chinese calligraphy well is a big problem, and here we can only give some conceptual hints.

For adults, the easiest way is to find a font you like, buy some celebrity copybooks and practice more. The key point is to practice the inter-frame structure of Chinese characters, otherwise, no matter how well the strokes are written, the structure of Chinese characters is not well written, and Chinese calligraphy will not be well written. Practice the basic strokes first, and then practice the shelf structure. Moreover, the latter is the key point, which takes the most time and understanding. That is to say, if you practice more, think more and summarize more, you will continue to improve.

if you want to write Chinese calligraphy well, you must master the brushwork and calligraphy.

first of all, talk about writing. Su Dongpo once said: "There is no fixed method for writing a pen, so it should be empty and wide." Here, we only introduce the commonly used "five-finger pen-holding method": that is, hold the pen holder with the fingertips of the thumb and forefinger (appropriate height) to ensure that the pen holder does not fall off; The middle finger is placed on the outside of the pen under the index finger, which not only strengthens the power of the index finger to pinch the pen, but also plays the role of hooking the pen in; When the nail of the ring finger touches the inside of the pen, it plays the role of pushing the pen outward; The little finger is attached to the lower part of the finger belly of the ring finger to help the ring finger push the pen outward. When holding a pen, as the ancients said, "Make the palm as empty as holding an egg", which is convenient for carrying a pen. To learn books, you should often practice holding the pen, hooking it back, pushing it out and rotating the pen holder (plus the role of the wrist) and drawing straight lines and arcs. The level of writing and whether to hang your wrist or elbow depends on the size of the words written, and the small words are low and pillow your wrist; Chinese characters hold high and hang their wrists; No matter how big it is, you need to hang your elbow.

secondly, talk about brushwork. Calligraphy is a line plastic art. The so-called brushwork is mainly about how to create ideal lines (stippling). When the pen is pressed to write, the strokes are thick, and when it is lifted, it is fine. Just like a person's two feet when walking, one falls and the other lifts, and keeps alternating, the pen is also constantly pressing in the process of writing. Only in this way can we produce lines with different thicknesses. Every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: entering, writing and receiving.

let's talk about closing words again. Knot is also called knot structure or shelf structure. Mr. Qi Gong once pointed out: to write brush strokes, we must grasp the structure of the shelf and practice the characteristics of strokes. The shelf structure is more important than the stippling feature. The characters with good spacing are not prominent in stroke characteristics, and they are still pleasing to the eye; Not the other way around. Therefore, it is very important to carefully study and grasp the structure rules of Chinese characters. The so-called "beginner's distribution, but seeking fairness" is the truth.

To learn Chinese calligraphy well, it is best to start with regular script or official script. After mastering all kinds of brushwork, you will have a certain foundation to learn other calligraphy styles. Sticking is a necessary means to practice calligraphy. If you don't stick to the post, you can't write it at will by your own ideas, and you can't write well in calligraphy. To learn to write Chinese calligraphy, you must have perseverance and perseverance, be persistent, guard against arrogance and rashness, and not be exposed to the cold at once. As the saying goes, "As long as you work hard, the iron pestle is ground into a needle". As long as everyone can stick to the rules of writing, they will certainly learn something. To write a good brush stroke, the adoption rate is 28.3%. 28-8-6 16: 5

question 4: how do adults practice Chinese calligraphy well? Be sure to copy it. You think the calligraphy experience summarized by calligraphers all their lives must be worth learning!

I suggest you practice with a brush and a hard pen, which will get twice the result with half the effort! Practice Yan Zhenqing's Diligence Monument in regular script, and choose Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting and Preface to Saint Education as the running script. If you just want to practice pen writing, you can learn from Qian Peiyun, which is faster. If you practice every day, you can write in a month. But remember to write like that if you want to practice writing!

There seems to be no relationship between pen and brush, but practicing together will improve faster!

question 5: how can I practice Chinese calligraphy well? Calligraphy is a persistent art, and it is forbidden to fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

Because of your age, you can enter the stage of practicing calligraphy directly without practicing strokes. Here are some simple methods:

1. Tracing Red: It is to fill in the strokes in the word box outlined by the double hook brushwork, which is suitable for beginners and is available in general bookstores.

2。 Copying: it is to copy the previous legal posts with white paper, which is suitable for beginners.

3。 Copying: copying with reference to the previous legal posts, suitable for those who have a certain foundation.

4。 Back-facing: first, learn to digest predecessors' legal posts, writing is not to look at them, and then find out the shortcomings by comparing them.

there are many more, so I won't list them here.

Beginners should start with real books (such as Kai, Li and Zhuan; Wei Bei, etc.) should not practice cursive first.

Here, I would like to recommend some calligraphy posts suitable for beginners:

Regular script includes Yan Zhenqing's Diligence Monument, Duo Pagoda Monument, and Ma Gu Xian Tan Ji; Liu Gongquan's mysterious tower, Shence military monument; Ou Yangxun's Jiuchenggong and other

official scripts include Shi Chenbei and Zhang Qianbei.

There are Zheng Wengong Monuments in Wei Bei.

Because of time, I only write so much. If you are interested, you can send me a message and we will study it together.

Several points that should be paid attention to when you start practicing Chinese characters: (You should learn common sense such as the structure of Chinese characters after practicing for a while)

① The posture should be correct, with your feet flat on the ground, your hands according to the case, your shoulders flat, your back straight, your head straight, and your eyes on the paper.

② Hold the pen with the palm of your hand empty, hold the pen with your fingers, and carry the pen on your wrist. Start practicing calligraphy to pillow the wrist, and gradually lift and hang the wrist.

③ The brushwork should be distinguished, generally divided into two types: Fang Bi and round pen, and the application positions of center, flank and lying front should also be defined.

④ Regular script is the basis of learning Chinese calligraphy. Regular script learning
