I think many people think these words look good.
The premise of writing good-looking words is to know what kind of words are good-looking words. This requires us to see more and know more in peacetime. We can borrow relevant books through Weibo or go to the library. I, Weibo, pay attention to many people who write beautifully or write on public platforms. They often publish or forward some words written by themselves or others. Everyone has a chance to know or join them, and you can punch in with many friends every day to supervise.
If the foundation is not good, let's start with copybooks. At present, the copybooks for copying and practicing calligraphy on the market include Tian regular script, running script and running script. After you have an appreciation of Chinese characters, you can go to the bookstore or other places to buy copybooks and practice according to your own preferences.
Why should we emphasize copying copybooks? On the one hand, this is not difficult, and it can cultivate the habit of practicing calligraphy. Personally, I suggest copying for a month or two or even a few months. Secondly, in this process, the ability to control the pen is also improved, such as exercising the strength of the wrist, palm and fingers. Once the ability to control the pen is improved, the brain can control the hand, the hand can control the pen, and the horizontal and vertical strokes can be controlled. Let's think about a question: what did martial arts practitioners practice at first? Squat horse stance. In other words, first improve your body balance and stability, and then learn martial arts routines or tricks. Right? In the third aspect, we can understand and practice the strokes and structures of Chinese characters. This is also the third point to share next.
The strokes I refer to here should be long and short, with heavy strokes thick and light strokes thin. For example, under normal circumstances, the next stroke is first heavy and then light, and of course there are long strokes and short strokes; Under normal circumstances, the company's next stroke is: light first, then heavy, and finally light, and make a stroke. For the practice of strokes, we should first control the length, and then pursue the change of stroke thickness.
Structure refers to the size, big, small, small and position of radicals that make up a word. These things need everyone to pay attention to details and observe more in the process of copying copybooks. For example, radicals with many strokes should have thin strokes; For radicals with few strokes, the strokes should be as thick as possible, so that the structure can be harmonious.
To practice calligraphy, you must first seek stability, and then seek quantity. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. What we need to practice at first is to write evenly and neatly. Bottom line: write clearly first, then write neatly, and then write well. So step by step.
This is the most controversial issue. Then I will share it according to my actual situation.
First of all, what is regular script? Regular script is a font with clear strokes and neat structure. Running script is developed on the basis of regular script, which is freer and more regular than regular script. Compared with regular script, running script will simplify strokes, have the effect of strokes, and change the writing order. Running script is a font between regular script and cursive script. In fact, it is a general term, which is divided into running script and cursive script. Regular script is more than cursive script, called running script, which is the grass of regular script; There are more cursive scripts than regular script, which is called cursive script, and it is the pioneering work of cursive script.
As far as we are concerned, we practice calligraphy mainly to express ourselves in practical daily writing applications. Whether it is school homework, exams or workplace job applications, regular script does not necessarily conform to the actual situation of writing, and it is relatively regular and slow to write, so most of them are mainly running script.
Some people compare regular script to walking and running script to running, but I find that running script is not simply to write regular script quickly, and writing fast can only be said to be a hyphen of regular script. Although regular script and running script have a lot in common, they are essentially different. In the process of changing regular script into running script, there are many changes in strokes and structure.
Writing regular script into running script will improve the writing speed, but this does not mean that improving the writing speed of regular script will become running script. So I want to say here that with the ability to control pens, I have no objection to practicing running script directly.
Usually spend at least one continuous period of time every day. Personally, I think pure writing time should not be less than half an hour. If you are a student, time is easier to satisfy. If you are a professional, when you can rest on weekends, I even suggest that the practice time can be guaranteed for two or three hours, and the time can be guaranteed. Quantitative change will lead to qualitative change.
I copied a lot of copybooks in college, not to mention how bad the handwriting was then (it seems to be good now? ), graduated from 20 15 and joined the work. Because the working environment is semi-closed for half a year, there are not many opportunities and activities to go out, so most of my spare time is spent practicing calligraphy. Learning Tian Yingzhang's running script at ordinary times made me really get into the habit of practicing calligraphy, and then I worked from 20 16 for a whole year before I really persisted. It can be said that all the methods of practicing calligraphy are timely.
The second stage is based on the first stage. Basically, I know more about Chinese characters, my pen control ability has improved, my strokes are strong, my structure is reasonable, my habit of practicing Chinese characters has been formed, and even practicing Chinese characters has become a part of my life.
First of all, you should read the post, which means to observe two aspects of the word-1.Stroke: writing position, length, straightness, angle and thickness (thickness); 2. Structure: including the collocation position between radicals and the proportion of radicals in Mi Zige.
Reading posts is very important. For a word, according to the above method, you can write it yourself on Mi Zige paper. And after reading the post, in the process of posting, slowly recite the strokes and structures of words, so as to master them.
It may not look like it at first, but if there is a big gap, you should continue to copy copybooks. If it's okay now, stick to it slowly. I believe it will get better and better, and it will also cultivate a good quality of paying more attention to details in daily life.
Form refers to the appearance of specific images of ci, and spirit refers to the mental outlook, style, connotation, artistic conception and momentum of ci, whether it is publicity or restraint. What is the first thing about the similarity of form and spirit? For example, does a person have eyes first or eyes first? Of course, this problem is obvious. It is also true that people should have good facial features first, and then cultivate temperament. Therefore, take shape first, then consider God.
Personally, I think that the time course of posting is endless, and it is a method of practicing calligraphy that anyone who practices calligraphy, no matter what level, should not give up. People at different levels may have different copybooks, but copybooks must be available at any time.
Here, I still suggest taking the original copybook and taking your time. When I have mastered a certain writing ability, combined with my own habits, I have formed a certain style, that is, a font that looks good within my ability. As for whether to find some ancient posts, such as some soft-pen calligraphy works by Zhao Mengfu and Wen Zhiming, I think it's time for everyone to have a try if they have a certain ability in the future, so there is not much communication here.
Look at my first and second reading of Wen Zhiming's regular script "Fu on a Thousand Red Cliffs".
Practicing calligraphy should still be applied to daily writing. But there is a reality that we must face-some people do practice calligraphy, but their writing style has not improved at ordinary times? I won't analyze this problem in detail from the aspect of hand-brain coordination. In short, the hand response speed is not enough, unskilled, and there is no automation. This is also easy to understand. It can also be said that some people can write well if they write slowly, but they can't write fast. A truth. So write more, write more, write more. All the answers are in time.
1, the center of gravity of each row or column is basically on a straight line;
2. The size of every word in every sentence written should be uneven. Words with more important strokes can be larger, words with less important strokes can be smaller, or special strokes of some words can be lengthened or exaggerated. For example, the word "zhong" should be a bright spot in the vertical direction, and it needs to be stretched most of the time, but it is not absolute. Sometimes we should consider the position, try our best to make every word patchwork and cooperate with each other to create a sense of movement and rhythm. For example:
Generally speaking, the above three stages are the methods I summed up in the whole process of practicing calligraphy. How long to invest in each stage still depends on everyone's foundation, talent and ability, which is not immutable.
Other people's experiences in practicing calligraphy are other people's stories, and their own methods of practicing calligraphy are their own. It is important to find a habit that suits you. When, how long and how to practice calligraphy every day are second. It is important to keep practicing, and don't stop at the beginning.
For example, you will see some handwritten TV advertisements, slogans, or leaflets, handwritten advertisements in front of cafes or tea shops, and so on. You will find the words, strokes and structure beautiful. At this time, you must write it down. Moreover, please believe that "taking pictures is not as good as remembering". Now the mobile phone is very convenient, so be sure to photograph it, and then find time to learn words slowly.
Why do I think this will work? Because although each word is different, the basic strokes of each word are inseparable from those points, and the radicals or capitals of many words are the same. We can think that most words are random combinations of a limited number of radicals.
So we can make some easy-to-write and frequently-used words look better first. There are about 2,500 commonly used words in modern Chinese, which are commonly used in copybooks. In the process of practicing Chinese, pay more attention to the words you are interested in, practice hundreds or dozens of words first and write well.
Learning one is one! Learning one is one! Learning one is one! Learn three, and there will be more than three! It's because many words have figured out their radical capitals. English letters are well written. Which word do you think is not well written?
For example, at first I liked the words "Don't be ungrateful to the Tathagata", so I tried to practice these words.
The above two are two experiences that I personally think play a catalytic role in the whole process of practicing Chinese characters. From my practice, I think they are very useful. I hope everyone can have a good experience.
Finally, I emphasize once again that all my experience was learned and summarized in the process of practicing calligraphy for more than one year. Whether it is the same or different from your own or other people's point of view, I hope that after reading it, you must think with yourself, learn from other people's experience, seek truth from facts, and take the road of practicing calligraphy that suits you.
Personally, I think it's ok to use a 0.5 neutral pen at first, and then touch the pen later. Sharp tools make good work. But I believe that a good pen can only be icing on the cake, not a gift in the snow.
Beginners initially suggest using modern copybooks, such as Tian Yingzhang's regular script or running script copybooks, and copying them on transparent paper. You can search for a treasure according to my tips and find what you like. I don't have this kind of copybook at hand for the time being. I copied more than a dozen copies during my college years. )
If you have a certain foundation, you can buy some other books and copybooks:
You can also buy your favorite ancient posts:
There is also a writing dictionary app(iOS mobile phone) that I often use, called calligraphy font, which contains cursive script. Usually can be used as an auxiliary tool.
Tell the truth, I used it! But let's just say that children really need the help of adults to learn to walk, but people have to walk by themselves sooner or later.
Finally, a word for you: You can stop me from practicing my handwriting well, but you can't stop me from building a beautiful society wholeheartedly.
Thank you all.
