Do you need to practice block letters first?

It is generally recommended to practice block letters first.

Running script is the font for writing Chinese characters. On the basis of regular script, it is a practical font formed by simplifying strokes, enhancing association and expressing interest. Students are generally advised to practice block letters before practicing block letters.

This is mainly because running script is the rapid writing of regular script, and it is the evolution and transition of regular script. The stable structure and standardized appearance of regular script are the key to the foothold of regular script. Without the foundation of regular script, it is difficult to master the rules and skills of regular script.

Secondly, although running script is more flexible and free than regular script, it is not enough for Lian Bi. Running script has certain symbols and methods, which need to be changed and innovated on the basis of learning regular script. Finally, running script needs a feeling of fluency, lightness and roundness, which is gradually cultivated when practicing running script. Without the basic skills of regular script, it is difficult to write beautiful running script.

So practice block letters first, lay a good foundation and improve the effect. Of course, if you already have a certain level of regular script, or can quickly master Lian Bi skills, you can also learn regular script directly. But we should pay attention to comparison, thinking and adjustment, and don't blindly imitate or change at will.

Practice method:

1, choose the right copybook and pen. The copybook should be clear and standardized, suitable for your own level. Use a gel pen or a pen with a suitable tip, not too thick or too thin.

2. Copy the copybook, pay attention to the details such as the structure, strokes, stroke order, and linking symbols of each word, and find out the rules and characteristics. Don't simply paint red or copy, but consciously analyze and understand.

3. Practice repeatedly, write more, read more and compare more. Choose a few words and write them repeatedly every day until you are familiar with them. At the same time, we should read more running script works, appreciate the styles and techniques of different calligraphers, and find what we like and suit.

4. Gradually increase the speed and form a feel. After mastering the basic knowledge and methods of running script, you can try to speed up the writing and make the strokes smoother, rounder and more agile. At the same time, we should pay attention to keep the structure clear and the font beautiful.
