Chinese brush
Double brush is recommended for beginners to choose. Double-strand brush: a pen made of more than two kinds of wool, the most common of which is double-strand brush for wolves and sheep. It is moderate in hardness and is suitable for beginners.
It is recommended for beginners to use a double-headed brush with a nib less than 4cm and a nib diameter of about 1cm. ?
In fact, the definition of good pen depends on the user's own experience. If you think your writing brush is very comfortable, it is actually a good pen!
Refined ink
Beginners are advised to use a Dege ink.
Yi Dege's ink is also divided into many categories. For beginners in calligraphy, I recommend two kinds of ink:
The first paragraph: a Dege refined ink. Cong Cong thinks that if you want to buy a small bottle of ink, you can choose this one. ?
The second paragraph: Yidege Beijing Ink. This is what Cong Cong is using. Is a popular cheap ink, cost-effective, sufficient weight, suitable for friends who plan to practice calligraphy for a long time.
Maintenance of ink
Remember never to pour the ink with water back into the original bottle, especially in summer, it is easy to deteriorate and you will smell a pungent smell.
paper
Beginners can practice with fringed paper, there is no need to use too good rice paper. When you can start writing in the future, you need to choose a better rice paper.
Wool edge paper, yellow paper made of bamboo fiber by ancient Han working people. The bamboo paper produced in Jiangxi in the late Ming Dynasty is delicate, thin and soft, light yellow, water-resistant and good in water absorption. Suitable for writing and printing ancient books. Because Jin Mao, a great book collector in Ming Dynasty, loved books and printed books on bamboo paper, he once went to Jiangxi to order a large number of slightly thick bamboo paper and stamped it with "Mao" on the edge, so people used to call this kind of paper wool paper, which is still in use today.
inkstone
For beginners, if you want to try grinding ink, choose inkstone and buy ordinary ones. For example, a small inkstone like the one below may cost more than ten yuan. Smart and lazy, go directly to a treasure to search for "inkstone" and choose the one with better sales volume and evaluation. ?
At present, there is a kind of inkstone called lightweight inkstone. Lightweight inkstone is made of synthetic materials, which is slightly lighter than inkstone, hence its name. There is no need to clean the inkstone after using ink.
Of course, if you practice writing with ink, you can use a container similar to a small dish, as long as you can hold ink and pens. Cong Cong thinks that the most practical thing is a small bowl or saucer at home.
Second, copybook
If it is zero-based, it is recommended to choose the copybook of the remedial class.
If it is a children's shoe with a certain foundation, you can choose a flat plate.
Third, find a good teacher.
Many friends want to teach themselves calligraphy. But I think self-study is often "self-training" by feeling. You practiced for months, even a year or two ... and finally found that you didn't make any progress. In fact, the reason is very simple, because you don't even know the good standard of writing brush, you don't know what you need to train to write, you don't know how your handwriting is, and you don't know what's wrong with your handwriting.
Therefore, if you want to learn calligraphy well, study calligraphy deeply and improve the level of calligraphy, you must first find a good teacher, study hard and never teach yourself.
Fourth, calligraphy can't be accelerated, and it needs constant practice.
Improve your writing. If you used to practice calligraphy only once or twice a week, you need to practice calligraphy every day to increase the number of articles you practice every day.
While improving the amount of writing practice, we need to collect words that are usually difficult to write, and focus on taking time to break through.
Learn calligraphy in your spare time.
Nowadays people are getting busier and busier because of work and family. We can't spare much time to learn calligraphy. So what should we do? Since you can't change the world, you must change yourself. ?
In fact, we can use our spare time to learn calligraphy, which I have always done. I will choose to watch and listen to calligraphy on the subway and bus. When I get home, I'll squeeze in some time to write calligraphy. ?
When you learn calligraphy, you learn to persist. Success is not achieved overnight, but accumulated over time.
