How far is the post from creation?

Sticking is a process of consolidating calligraphy statutes and foundation, and also a process of enhancing aesthetic vision, so it is very important. However, we often hear that someone has posted a post for 30 to 30 years. Once he has an idea, what he wrote is almost incomprehensible, but we dare not say that he is not doing well. Maybe it's not impossible for his temporary works to look different.

This explains why some people can't live without the "crutches" of the ancients all their lives, and when they leave, they will show their true colors, indicating that there is a distance between copying and creation in the special artistic or technical environment of calligraphy. For many people, this subtle distance may not be possible for a lifetime. This turning point will either become a climate or a lifetime.

So we really want to know: how to post it? How far is the post from creation? Some people say that plagiarism is like taking a shortcut on foot, which makes sense, but sometimes it backfires. Our problem is that this shortcut is sometimes a common path, because near is imitation, while imitation far is originality, and no matter how good it is, it is very different from creation. This is the essential difference between copying and creating.

Stickers are actually a kind of copying, and many people still don't understand the real secret of writing. For example, when you walk, you have a direction, and then you should have the ability to walk physically and balance your feet. Secondly, walking fast or slow is a matter of rhythm. Conversely, the purpose of copying is to master a technology and a way, but who invented the routine? More in-depth, what are the prerequisites for getting this routine?

The learning method of temporary posts is correct in itself, and we can't ignore it. However, many people just bend their heads and copy other people's works, never thinking that there are some more important problems to solve in writing. These problems can not be solved by copying, such as composition, ink painting and so on (as for cultivation and so on. As far as composition is concerned, it is the key factor to form the style of writing. If you are used to acting according to other people's styles, how can you finally enter the realm of originality?

Composition, like architectural features, you know that the house is built with a rotating head, and what kind of frame you use to build the house is another matter. According to the design, you can make many styles of houses. The design here is not imitation, but through creativity after understanding the basic structural elements of the house. Because of this, so is writing. You can already write, so don't spend too much energy on turning your head. What you have to do is to design and create different styles of works through your creativity.

Copying is the foundation, which is actually the process of choosing words and making sentences. If you put too much energy into choosing words and making sentences, how many writers can you produce? Calligraphy is the same. You focus on copying. Many people practice all their lives, but they can't become calligraphers. Is this the reason?

We are very supportive of plagiarism. There is no doubt that it is absolutely impossible not to copy. However, it is wishful thinking if you focus on copying and want to be a real calligrapher.

Therefore, when we have posted it for several years or in the process of learning, we must deeply understand this problem. Throughout the ages, people who have achieved liberalization have jumped out of the law based on written law, and only by sticking to a pattern can they truly become original calligraphers.
