Whose copybook should I buy if I want to practice calligraphy?

Calligraphy practice can be divided into brush calligraphy and pen calligraphy, and copybooks are templates for people who study calligraphy, mostly photocopies of stone rubbings, woodcuts or famous ink. First of all, we should be clear about which font we want to practice and pay attention to the method of practicing calligraphy, so that we can have confidence in efficiency. Whether it is brush or hard pen calligraphy, it is better to practice regular script first. You can go to the bookstore if you can. There are many, you can buy according to your own needs.

When practicing calligraphy, we should pay attention to methods, and only when we are efficient can we have confidence. For beginners, it is suggested to use Zhao Rufei's Trapezoidal Typesetting, and then choose the posts of Ou Yangxun, Zhao Mengfu, Wang Xizhi and other ancient masters after getting started. Or you can choose a hard pen: "Pencil Copy of Ancient Poems and Songs Necessary for Senior High School Students", which is helpful for later study and improves self-cultivation. The copybook can be divided into five fonts: regular script, cursive script, running script, official script and seal script.

Choose Yan Zhenqing's Diligence and Ritual Monument or Duobaota Monument in regular script. You can slowly ponder the strokes, or choose Chu Suiliang's Yin Fu Jing, which is also better and more practical. In pursuit of aesthetic feeling, use running script or cursive script, learn running script, and buy Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting. Learn cursive script and buy Sun's book spectrum. Regular script is slow, running script is fast, cursive script trots, and weeds run.

You should get the copybook ready and buy one or two. No matter how "rich" copybooks are, there can only be one or two kinds. Don't copy the inscription before pasting, because the inscription was written by a calligrapher and then carved by a stonemason, which is very different from the handwriting, which is not conducive to beginners to master strokes. Second, don't learn from an adult like Yan Liu Ou Zhao at the beginning. It is easy to be framed, which is not good for your future creation and the formation of your own style.

In the process of practice, you can come first, then touch it, and then write it yourself. Make a plan for yourself every day and finish it carefully according to your own plan. At the same time, don't throw away the practiced words, but stay here every day. After a week, make a comparison and you will find that your progress is amazing.
