How do beginners write calligraphy well?

The "brush character" mentioned here refers to the brush character written according to the traditional statutes, rather than the character written casually with a brush. How to write China's calligraphy well is a big problem, and only some conceptual hints can be given here.

For adults, the easiest way is to find a font you like, buy some celebrity copybooks and practice more; The key point is to practice the inter-frame structure of Chinese characters, otherwise the strokes will be well written, the structure of Chinese characters will not be well written, and China calligraphy will not be well written. Practice basic strokes first, and then practice shelf structure. And the latter is the key point, which needs time and understanding most. In other words, practice more, think more and summarize more, and you will continue to improve.

If you want to write calligraphy well, you must master brushwork and calligraphy.

First of all, talk about writing. Su Dongpo once said: "There is no fixed way to put pen to paper, but it should be empty and wide." Here, only the commonly used "five-finger pen-holding method" is introduced: hold the pen holder with the fingertips of thumb and forefinger (appropriate height) to ensure that the pen holder does not fall off; The middle finger is placed on the outside of the pen under the index finger, which not only strengthens the power of the index finger to pinch the pen, but also plays the role of hooking the pen in; When the nail of the ring finger touches the inside of the pen, it plays the role of pushing the pen outward; The little finger is attached to the lower part of the finger belly of the ring finger to help the ring finger push the pen outward. When holding a pen, as the ancients said, it is convenient to carry a pen. When learning books, you should often practice holding the pen, returning the hook, pushing out and rotating the pen holder (plus the role of the wrist) and drawing straight lines and arcs. The level of writing and hanging the wrist or elbow depend on the size of the words written, and the small words are low on the wrist; Chinese characters are held high and hung on the wrist; No matter how big you are, you need to hang your elbow.

Secondly, talk about brushwork. Calligraphy is a line modeling art. The so-called brushwork mainly talks about how to shape ideal lines (stippling). When the pen is pressed, the strokes are thick, and when it is lifted, it is thin. Just like a person's walking feet, one falls and the other rises, constantly alternating, and the pen keeps pressing in the process of writing. Only in this way can lines with different thicknesses be produced. Every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: input, writing and receiving. There is a method of "exposing the front" to make the pen tip sharp or square; There is a method of "hiding the front", in which the front enters the pen, the horizontal painting wants to be straight first, and the vertical painting wants to be down first, so that the front of the pen is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically round. Learn to "use the pen from the middle" when writing, so that the front tip often runs in the middle of the strokes. In order to make strokes more powerful, we should learn to use the pen unsmiling, leaving lines in the middle and lines in the middle to avoid glitz. There are "exposed front" (the pen is gradually lifted off the paper, drawing a sharp point, such as hanging the needle vertically, skimming, pressing and hooking) and "hidden front" (the pen tip is retracted into the painting, such as hanging vertically, and the pen tail is round).

Let's talk about the knot again. Knot is also called knot structure or shelf structure. Mr. Qi Gong once pointed out: To write brush strokes, we must master the structure of the pen holder and practice the characteristics of strokes. Shelf structure is more important than stippling features. Words with good spacing are not prominent in stroke characteristics and are pleasing to the eye; Not the other way around. Therefore, it is very important to study and master the structural rules of words carefully. The so-called "beginner distribution, but seeking fairness" is the truth.

To learn China's calligraphy well, it is best to start with regular script or official script. After mastering all kinds of brushwork, you will have a certain foundation for learning other calligraphy styles. Sticking is a necessary means to practice calligraphy. If you don't stick to your post, you can't write at will according to your own ideas, and your calligraphy is not good. Learning to write Chinese calligraphy requires perseverance, perseverance, arrogance and rashness, and it can't get cold all at once. As the saying goes, "as long as you work hard, the iron pestle is ground into a needle." As long as everyone can stick to the law of writing and keep doing it, they will certainly learn something and write a good brush calligraphy.
