Question 2: What copybook is better for practicing calligraphy? I suggest you go to the bookstore (online or various bookstores) to find a book whose author is Si Mayan or Pang Zhonghua. Their handwriting is more formal. According to my experience, there are many copybooks in bookstores on the market. Whether you want to write well or practice your handwriting, you can't blindly buy and practice just because someone's handwriting on the copybook looks ok. If you want to write or practice calligraphy, you must be organized. The regular script written by Sima Yan and Pang Zhonghua, that is, the square strokes, is very neat and beautiful. You don't need to practice with a pen, just ordinary signature pens and gel pens. Because I don't need to learn calligraphy, I just want to write better. If you don't have much time, I suggest you read their handwriting more, and you can make progress by holding the copybook and reading it often. Supplement: Please note that what you want is to write better. I don't agree to practice with Copybook for calligraphy such as Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan. I study calligraphy and practice Liu Gongquan's regular script with a pen, but that is not only unnecessary for you, but also harmful. To write well rather than practice, ordinary pen copybooks are more helpful.
Question 3: I want to practice my running script. What copybook should I choose to practice running script? Recommend three major scripts and holy orders.
Preface to the Collection of Lanting, the Best Running Script in the World
Preface to Lanting is also called Preface to Lanting, Preface to Lanting, Preface to He Lin, Preface to Zan and Zan Tie. It is one of the three major calligraphy posts and one of the top ten famous calligraphy posts handed down from ancient times in China. The book of law posts handed down from generation to generation, with 28 lines and 324 words, is perfect in composition, structure and brushwork, and is his masterpiece at the age of 33. Later generations said, "The font of the right army has changed. Its heroic spirit is natural, so it is considered to be a model from ancient times to the present. " Therefore, calligraphers of all ages called Lanting "the best calligraphy in the world".
The Second Running Script in the World ―― Sacrifice to the Nephew
The full name of Sacrificing a Nephew is Sacrificing a Nephew, which was written by Yan Zhenqing in the first year of Tang Dynasty (AD 758). Hemp paper, the running script is 28.2 cm long and 75.5 cm wide, with 23 lines, 11 words per line and 234 words per line. Because this manuscript was written in extreme grief and indignation, no matter how it is written by hand, the words fluctuate with the calligrapher's mood, which is purely a natural expression of spiritual peace and peacetime labor. This is rare in the whole history of calligraphy.
The Third Running Book in the World ―― Huangzhou Cold Food Poem Post
Cold Food Post is the representative work of Su Shi's running script. This is a poem to send a revival, and it is a sigh of life caused by Su Shi's relegation to Huangzhou for three years. The poem is desolate and affectionate, expressing Su Shi's melancholy and lonely mood at this time. The calligraphy of this poem is produced in this mood and situation. The whole calligraphy is full of ups and downs, radiant and unrestrained, and there is no shortage of pens. Huangzhou Cold Food Poetry Post has a great influence in the history of calligraphy, which is called "the third running script in the world" and is also a leader in Su Shi's calligraphy works.
Because of the praise of many scholars, the world called Cold Food Sticker, Preface to Lanting by Wang Xizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Book of Sacrificing My Nephew by Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty, or simply called Cold Food Sticker the third running script in the world. Others compared the "three major running scripts in the world" and said: "Preface to Lanting" is the wind of Confucianism, "Post for Sacrificing Nephews" is the wind of the wise, and "Cold Food Post" is the wind of scholars.
Preface of holy teaching
The Preface to the Holy Teaching was called the Preface to Wang Xizhi by Huai Renji in the Tang Dynasty. Preface to the Holy Teaching consists of Wang Xizhi's words collected by monk Huairen. Although it is a collection of words, the missing words are spliced together. However, because it directly copied the original work of Wang Xizhi, it was highly praised by calligraphers of all ages. His calligraphy is elegant and vigorous, with smooth brushwork and vivid charm, which is an excellent model for learning running script. I think you'd better practice running script with the preface to the holy teachings.
Question 4: Who is better at practicing cursive script? In fact, it is the same for anyone who practices 50 points. The key is to see whose copybook you like. Tian Yingzhang, Pang Zhonghua and Sima Yan are famous, but I personally prefer Tian Yingzhang. Let me give you a reference.
Question 5: What kind of copybook should I buy to learn cursive script?
Xu Lanting, let's practice first.
Take your time
Question 6: What copybook is the best for getting started when practicing cursive script? Thank you, there are too many prefaces to the Lanting Collection (do you know what the eight pillars of Lanting are? ), the most common is the Dragon Edition, which was filled in in the Tang Dynasty. Personally, I think it's best to start with the original works, such as Sun's Book of the Tang Dynasty. I like it myself, and I can get started quickly. Moreover, the article is worth reading, and you can learn about the history of calligraphy and the techniques of the ancients by the way. There are many versions on the market, compare them before buying ~
Question 7: Which font is better for practicing calligraphy? The most fundamental thing is to practice calligraphy well. As long as the brush is good, the hard pen is naturally good. Everyone has a hand in modern calligraphy.
The most effective ones are seal script and official script, which are easy to write, but have little effect on modern practice. It is best to learn regular script, then turn it into a running script, and then you can cursive, which is more practical.
Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Zhao Meng, Ou Yangxun and Chu Suiliang are the best copybooks for soft-brush regular script, but we should grasp one and keep practicing.
Wang Xizhi is a leader in running script, which no one can surpass so far. Cursive script can learn from Mi Fei.
If you want to practice hard pen quickly and well, I suggest you write according to their posts and learn the shelf structure of fonts.
Persistence is the most important thing, and learning calligraphy also has the function of self-cultivation. People who write calligraphy for a long time live long.
Question 8: What kind of copybook friends should novice calligraphers buy? I sincerely suggest that you start with regular script, and you can practice Yan Zhenqing's ritual tablet. This tablet was written by him in the middle and late period, which is relatively mature. Relatively speaking, his "Ma Gu Xian Shan Shu" is much inferior, and the brushwork changes flatly. After that, you can practice official script (many people will tell you that official script is easy to practice and can improve your confidence. That's bullshit！ It is true that the shape of official script is easy to master and neat and beautiful, but it would be a failure to practice calligraphy only by practicing the shape. Just look at the excellent calligraphy works now, which works are neat? Which work is the font in the original inscription? Need a breakthrough, so understanding the previous writing skills is king. After practicing the first two fonts, other fonts, such as running script, seal script, cursive script, etc. , you can choose to practice. Of course, the core is the same, which is calligraphy. I strongly recommend that you buy a gold inscription (with translation) to experience your writing skills. It may cost a little more, but it is worth it. The above is the process of learning calligraphy, I hope it will help you ~
Question 9: How can I make a good cursive script? The more I write posts, the uglier I look. If there is no shelf, how to practice cursive script? It is suggested to use regular script first, then calligraphy. Practice is not too much, but thinking. At ordinary times, I don't have any shelf to think about this word. After a long time, I will naturally write a good hand.
