The ancients talked about calligraphy.

Be a man before you write. This is a famous saying of the ancients about learning calligraphy. As Lu You said, learning poetry? Kung fu is outside the poem? In the same way, to learn calligraphy well, we should also make more efforts outside calligraphy. We understand this sentence from two aspects.

First, learners are required to have certain moral cultivation. Books are like people, and calligraphy can best reflect people's character and temperament. For example, does "Ji Shu" refer to Li Bai's calligraphy? Xiong Yi is beautiful, she is outside the cloud nine. ? Xuanhe Pu Shu is called Du Mu's calligraphy? Full of energy, in line with his article. ? Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is dignified and dignified. Sublime? And then what? Hero? The beauty, which is recognized by later generations, is inseparable from Yan Zhenqing's lifelong loyalty. So is Su Shi? The article is wonderful in the world, and loyalty runs through the sun and the moon. ?

So the ancients attached great importance to the cultivation of calligraphers. As Liu Gongquan said? Is the heart right and the pen right Famous words. Huang tingjian said,? Learning books requires virtue and extensive knowledge of sages. Books are valuable. If there is no journey to the spiritual mansion, even if the pen and ink are not reduced, it will only be the ears of the laity. ? Today, we who study books should also improve our moral cultivation in all aspects and make our calligraphy have a good temperament.

Second, learners are required to absorb artistic nutrition extensively. The essence of the beauty of calligraphy is to show all kinds of ideological interests through line processing, so that people can enjoy beauty. Therefore, calligraphers are good at observing life, capturing and refining beautiful phenomena and interests (including various phenomena in nature and society and works of other artistic styles) from life, and integrating them into their own calligraphy art to achieve success. Zhong you? Say goodbye to everything, all books are like this? . Zhang Xu saw Gong Sundaniang's sword-dancing device, and he tried to improve his calligraphy. Han Yu called him? The change of everything in the world is gratifying, one in the book. ? There are also Huai Su's observation of Qifeng in Xia Yun and Jiang Tao's night stories, which inspire the art of calligraphy and so on.

All this tells us that only by loving life, observing life and refining life can we learn calligraphy well.

At the same time, being proficient in painting, sculpture, music, literature and even having a certain accomplishment is also conducive to improving the artistic level of calligraphy.
