About 8 years old is the best time to start practicing hard pen calligraphy.
Hard-pen calligraphy is a splendid flower in the hundred gardens of calligraphy. Its writing tools include pens, ballpoint pens, dip pens, pencils, plastic pens, bamboo pens, wooden pens, iron pens, etc., with ink as the main carrier to express Chinese writing skills. It has the characteristics of convenient carrying, quick writing and wide use value. The difference between it and the brush pen is that it changes the thick stippling of the soft pen into slender stippling, and removes its muscles and bones.
Mistakes in writing
There are several kinds of people who are difficult to practice writing well: First, they think that writing is irrelevant. "If you have a computer, do you still need to write?" "Just write it almost!" This is an irresponsible attitude. With this attitude, it is difficult to succeed in doing anything else. Second, I think it is too difficult to practice calligraphy, but after practicing for a period of time, I don't think I have the talent to practice calligraphy. Third, I think that my handwriting has been finalized and cannot be changed, and it is futile to practice. Fourth, I think my handwriting is not bad, even very good, so I admire myself and don't make progress, and then I stand still and stagnate. Fifth, blindly choosing "font" (or style) based on aesthetic preferences that are not necessarily correct, and often miss the opportunity or even go astray. Sixth, the relationship between writing and calligraphy is not clear. When some friends talk about practicing calligraphy, they think it is calligraphy, so they are discouraged or think it is unnecessary. Other friends, on the other hand, even the handwriting is not standardized, so they create their own calligraphy behind closed doors, so what they write is often neither fish nor fowl. Seventh, I really made up my mind to practice calligraphy, but I always feel that I can't start or see results. This is mainly due to the lack of guidance. Eight is blindly determined to practice calligraphy, but always no action, and so on.
Mastering the correct method of practicing calligraphy
Actually, practicing calligraphy is not too difficult, but the key to mastering the correct method is to copy more. Think about it, writing, that is, clicking, horizontal, vertical, skimming and pressing, and adding a few turning strokes. Write these well, and then pay attention to the collocation between strokes, as a general daily writing. Writing is actually a habit of writing. For those who can't write well, practicing writing is to get rid of bad writing habits and form a good writing habit. The writing level has not improved because you don't know what good writing habits are, or you haven't noticed them. Read more, ponder more, copy good copybooks repeatedly, and you will naturally form good writing habits.
