Calligraphy art is the treasure of our Chinese civilization. The unique Chinese character line combination and architectural structure in our motherland, as well as the original writing tools and materials such as brush, ink, inkstone and Xuan paper called "Four Treasures of the Study" by our ancestors, as well as the inscriptions and calligraphy posts left by literati in past dynasties, make calligraphy shine in the palace of Chinese national art! In the new century, in the era of computer information, the art of calligraphy is still flourishing and endless. The calligraphy craze that arose in the early days of reform and opening up has never weakened, or even flourished. More and more friends begin to pay attention to and get in touch with the art of calligraphy in today's comfortable life. So how can we learn calligraphy well? I think: First, we should have a good attitude. Einstein famously said that love is the best teacher. To learn calligraphy, we must first love the art of calligraphy, cultivate a strong interest in learning and establish a correct attitude towards learning. A strong interest is a lasting interest. Where there is a will, you will find yourself in Chang Zhi, not five minutes of blood on a whim. You can't just taste it. Now that you have learned it, you must be fascinated by it and master it. Need in-depth and meticulous study and thinking, need continuous efforts, need to let go. The so-called correct learning attitude is to overcome the feelings of quick success and instant benefit and fear of difficulties. Play calligraphy with a normal heart. As a part of life, it is embedded in life. Someone asked me when to write. Actually, I can't answer that. Calligraphy has been integrated into my life and become my way of life. Just like those friends who like mahjong, there must be mahjong tables and tiles at home, and there must be a lot of time to get together with brothers and sisters to play mahjong. Therefore, love and interest are the most important. As long as you really love it, you will be willing to pursue it. Through accumulation, you can find your favorite bright pearl in the treasure house of calligraphy art. Second, step by step. Learning should be gradual, easy first and then difficult. And it is often easier to start, and the deeper it is, the harder it is. The so-called "it's very simple at the beginning, and it's great when it's finished." Novices should especially overcome the psychology of quick success and instant benefit, hoping to take shortcuts and get quick success and instant benefit. It should be noted that any knowledge or art should follow its unique laws and gradually understand and master it. As far as fonts are concerned, you usually learn regular script first (some start with official script), and then learn fonts such as running script. Regular script stippling is clear, stable in structure, complete in brushwork and easy to learn. Therefore, it is in line with the learning law to learn regular script first. Of course, learning regular script first does not mean that learning regular script well can help you learn to walk. Generally speaking, after mastering the basic brushwork and structural method of regular script, you can learn running script and cursive script. Regular script, running script and cursive script can learn alternately, promote each other and improve learning efficiency. As far as a font is concerned, learn strokes first, and then learn stroke order, radicals, and structure. Taking regular script as an example, strokes are the basic part of regular script, just like "parts" on "machines", which need "parts" to assemble "machines"; After mastering or basically mastering the strokes of regular script, you can combine radicals according to the order of strokes, and even complete Chinese characters with unique structure or combination. Of course, learning strokes first does not mean learning strokes well before learning to write. Generally speaking, starting with strokes is more in line with the learning law; In the process of learning radicals and structures, we can further master the writing of strokes. As far as the size of words is concerned, learn to write big characters first, and then learn to write small ones. Learning to write in block letters first has three advantages: 1, and block letters are thick and long. When writing, the steps of starting, writing and receiving are obvious, easy to understand and suitable for practice. If there is a sick pen, it is clear at a glance and easy to correct. 2, learn to write big characters first, which is conducive to exercising wrist strength and arm strength. 3. First learn to write the structure in block letters, and after mastering the basic rules of the structure, it is not difficult to narrow down the scope. If you write in lower case first, it is easy to form the habit of formality, and if you enlarge it, you can't write well. As far as the relationship between specialization and learning is concerned, specialization and learning should be integrated first, and then learning more people. First of all, we should start with mastery, concentrate on mastering writing skills and structural characteristics, grasp the spirit, and master mastery, so that we can draw inferences from others, and then it is not difficult to learn other styles or fonts of the same font. If you want to "blog" when you are just getting started, you must have more than you can chew; Change your mind, learn "Liu" today, and learn "Yan" tomorrow, and you will surely be more haste, less speed. There are many learned people, so it is necessary to combine learning with specialization and master solid basic skills as the premise. All accomplished calligraphers in ancient and modern times have formed their own unique style on the basis of special research and the integration of the strengths of various schools. Third, we must persevere. Calligraphy, as an art, cannot be learned in a short time. The basic skills of calligraphy include hands-on ability, appreciation ability, comprehensive analysis ability and so on. In the process of learning, whether you can persist in studying hard and practicing hard for a long time is the key to determine whether each learner can succeed. "Bao Jianfeng comes from sharpening, and plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold." Without hard training, there will never be any "skillful hands" and "skillful pens". Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty, who was honored as a "book saint", and even a famous scholar of the Tang and Song Dynasties, did not succeed after decades of unremitting hard training? Touching stories such as "Mo Chi" and "zhǒng" that have been handed down to this day show that the secret of their success lies in diligence and perseverance. In contemporary times, many people study hard and practice hard like the ancients, and have achieved great success. Wei Tianchi, the first calligraphy professor in China and vice chairman of China Calligraphy Association, is one of them. At the age of six, he began to learn calligraphy under the guidance of a tutor. When he was studying in a normal school in the early 1950s, he consciously practiced hard. Later, I went to Nanjing Normal University to study. After graduation, I studied calligraphy under the famous calligrapher Mr. Shen Zishan and the calligraphy master Mr. Lin Sanzhi. So far, I have been studying seal script, official script, cursive script and calligraphy, especially good at calligraphy and cursive script. The spirit of diligent study and perseverance of predecessors and present people is worth learning. When we study calligraphy, we must use their spirit to motivate ourselves. As long as the method is correct and you practice hard day after day and year after year, you will succeed.
In addition, copying and creation are the two most important stages in learning calligraphy. From ancient times to the present, there is hardly a calligrapher who has not gone through the process of "copying-creation-copying-re-creation". Calligraphy is a comprehensive advanced art, which has the charm of poetry, the brilliance of painting, the melody of music, the modeling of architecture, the posture of dance and the three-dimensional sense of sculpture. How can I learn well? On how to learn calligraphy well. First, master the essentials of semester calligraphy 1. Writing method Mrs. Wei, a calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty, said, "Whoever learns calligraphy must learn to write first." It can be seen that mastering the correct writing method is very important for learning calligraphy. Writing methods include requirements, essentials and law enforcement. It is required that the fingers are firm, the palms are weak, the palms are vertical and the wrists are flat. Pointing to reality means that the fingers holding the pen firmly bind the pen, but they cannot "die". If the finger is not true, the pen will be weak; Palm deficiency means that the palm of the pen is empty and the gap is like holding an egg. If the palm of your hand is empty, the pen container will be held to death, which will hinder the use of the pen. The palm is vertical, that is, when writing, the palm stands upright, as far as possible parallel to the pen and perpendicular to the paper. Only in this way can the brush stroke be straight, the brush stroke can rise in all directions and write rich and powerful strokes; Wrist is flat, that is to say, when writing, elbow and wrist are together and parallel to the desktop, so you can write freely. The essentials include two aspects: the pen is vertical and the action is flexible. The pen holder is vertical, that is to say, when writing, the pen holder and the paper should always maintain the maximum vertical state, because ink can be printed quickly, so that the written points and lines are very powerful and three-dimensional; To be flexible, the key is to avoid holding the pen too tightly and not causing rigidity; Five-character fingering refers to: pressing, pressing, hooking, pushing and stretching, so I won't make a detailed analysis here. 2, the so-called pen-carrying method, simply put, is that the writer uses his arms, elbows, wrists and fingers to command the brush in his hand, and according to the reasonable stroke trajectory, speed and strength, he shapes the brushwork by lifting the pen. The success of learning calligraphy is closely related to mastering the depth of strokes. Second, study hard and practice hard. In the process of learning calligraphy, we must learn the method of combining temporary posts with reading posts. There are two kinds of temporary stickers: front stickers and back stickers. Reading posts is to analyze the strokes, structure, weight, Fiona Fang, straight, dry, yin and so on. The tightness, verticality, correctness and primary and secondary structure of copybooks are analyzed. Third, step by step 1, learn regular script first, then learn cursive script; Second, learn the big characters first, then the small ones; Third, study before studying; Fourth, calligraphy outside the book is a comprehensive art. In addition to learning calligraphy well, it is also necessary to improve moral sentiment and cultural and artistic accomplishment. A person's character and temperament are often the easiest to show in his writing. If a person is careless and dishonest, his handwriting is bound to be frivolous and scribble.
