Hello. I like calligraphy very much, but I don't practice it very well. I really want to learn hard pen. I hope I can give some advice.

Li Shaobai: Calligraphy learning "should be recited but not attached"

In the study of calligraphy, Li Shaobai's thought is to recite calligraphy instead of pasting it. In the next few years, he may not be able to use it for himself, but he will be integrated with his own style in a few days. Because the purpose of learning calligraphy is not to write it like the original post and become a "slave book", but to absorb it into your own things. It doesn't matter if the back sticker is different from the original sticker. Only when there is difference can there be contrast. Compare the difference between your own writing and the original post, choose the good one and do it. Keep your own good ones and paste them according to the original posts, so that calligraphy will improve rapidly and form your own style quickly, and this is the fundamental purpose of back posting. When practicing calligraphy, you will enter a relaxed state and your memory will become very good. This state is also the basis for realizing the reply.

How to learn hard pen calligraphy well?

Hard pen calligraphy has entered the era of signature pen. Due to the development of economy and technology, the simple and easy-to-use signature pen is widely used because of its low cost, and now it has become the mainstream writing tool. Although the pen is more expressive, it is no longer commonly used because of its inconvenience and poor practicality. Pens or ballpoint pens are mainly used for daily writing. Therefore, the future hard pen calligraphy should take the signature pen as the main carrier, not the pen as the main carrier. Some strokes practiced with a pen can't be expressed by a signature pen. Therefore, it is not practical to learn hard pen calligraphy with a pen, and it is not appropriate to use a pen to paste teaching.

Practice writing horizontally instead of vertically.

Horizontal writing and vertical writing are completely different. Horizontal writing should be based on the upper right, and office writing should be based on the lower left. If you copy the writing style of China's calligraphy, of course, it is more coherent to write vertically with the pen at the lower left. But this kind of writing is not good-looking and incoherent when used horizontally. Therefore, it is inappropriate for hard-pen calligraphers to advocate hard-pen vertical writing. Although beautiful, it is not practical, and developing the wrong writing habits is not conducive to daily writing.

You must be able to write quickly.

Being able to write quickly is the most basic requirement of practicality. It is necessary to omit beautiful but difficult brushwork and avoid twists and turns in brushwork. It is very convenient and neat to write with a brush. But hard writing is difficult and time-consuming. The narrow performance space makes the effect extremely unnatural. This goes against the nature of writing tools. The so-called Tao, first of all, is to conform to the nature of things and play its talents with ease. The consequence of hard pen and brush calligraphy education is that everyone has to abandon those rules in order to write quickly in actual situations, but there is no brushwork at this time. It is misleading to say that we advocate twists and turns. The stroke thickness of hard pen can be changed, but this change has its own characteristics, not so much abrupt as gradual change. Only the tail pen is suitable for mutation We must consider his brushwork according to his brushwork.

Be sure to identify it.

Brush calligraphy is now developing towards pure art, and there are many ways to write. But hard pen calligraphy is a practical art, which must be standardized and easy to identify.
