1. Copying and copying
This is not only the beginning of the correct way to learn books, but also the fundamental point in the correct method of learning books. It must be firmly believed and unswerving.
Copying and copying each have their own advantages and effects. Jiang Kui's "Sequel Book of Books" said: "It is easy to lose one's position when copying a book, but gain more of the ancients' writing style. It is easy to gain the position of the ancients when copying a book, but it is easy to lose the ancients' writing style when copying a book. It is easy to advance when copying a book, but it is easy to forget when copying a book." Among them. The "brushwork" refers to the brushwork, gestures and interest of the lines. The method of "pro" is to look at the copybook and write accordingly. As long as you read it carefully, you can easily grasp the meaning of the brushwork. So as to learn the essence of the template. The method of "copying" is to cover the post with tissue paper and draw directly. Therefore, the fonts will basically not be out of shape. Copying them several times will help you grasp the structure. However, the brushwork cannot be clearly seen when copying the calligraphy, and the meaning of the brushstrokes is "easy to lose", although the layout is good. But without brushwork, words become rigid. Therefore, beginners can copy and use them together to complement each other.
2. Quantify every day
Facts have proved that everything has a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, and the same goes for practicing calligraphy. If you write too little and the amount of practice cannot keep up, it will It can’t be said to be progress; of course, if you write more blindly and mechanically, the effect will not be good if you are tired. A certain amount can achieve a certain effect, and a better amount can achieve a better effect.
3. Step by step
To learn calligraphy, on the basis of diligent study and practice, you should also understand that it is a step-by-step process:
First, start with regular script , followed by grass. Su Shi said: "True is like walking, and walking is like grass. True is like standing, walking is like walking, and grass is like walking." That is to say, regular script, running script, and cursive script are like people's standing, walking, and running. If a person can't even stand, how can he Can you walk and run? If you don't have a foundation in regular script and write directly in running script or cursive script, you will lose sight of the rules and become slippery and floating. Running script and cursive script are the flow, convenience, sparseness and dispersion of regular script. After learning regular script well and strengthening the flow and response of the pen, cursive script will become easier to master. Wait until you are proficient in regular calligraphy and then write in cursive. Then you can realize that the two are similar, can complement each other, promote each other, and complement each other.
Third, do the stippling first, then the structure, and then the composition. Calligraphy is the art of lines, that is, an art based on basic pointillism. If the basic stippling is not good, the artistry of the entire word or article will be out of the question. Because the pen tip is hard and the change of lines is relatively simple, the learning of pen calligraphy spends more time on the structure and less time on the pen and stippling. But this does not mean that the brush used in dot painting is not important. On the contrary, it is the basic skill of pen calligraphy. Only after the basic skills of dot painting are solid, it is possible to grasp the structure. After having a certain foundation in structure, it will be easy to grasp the organization of the entire calligraphy.
