Sincerely seek advice, thank you.

Analysis:

1, fully equipped. Sharp tools can do a good job. If you really want to learn calligraphy well, you need a formal Four Treasures of the Study. When practicing calligraphy, you must use a regular calligraphy pen. Wolf hair is hard and wool is soft. Soak in warm water, clean in time after writing, and keep the pen tip hanging down for safekeeping. Use Chinese or German ink, not the ink written on the blackboard in the office. Do daily exercises on fringed paper, not in newspapers. Use an inkstone to hold ink. If the inkstone is too heavy to carry, it can also be replaced by a small porcelain plate. When writing, a certain proportion of water should be added to the ink to dilute the gel. If you don't have a good grasp of the proportion, you can adjust it with ink sticks.

2. The posture is correct. Sit up straight, put the paper straight, stay calm and concentrate. You can write standing or sitting. Pay attention to hanging your wrist when writing standing.

3. Be clear about your goals and know which font you want to learn. Generally speaking, beginners should start with regular script. Yan body is round and vigorous, and Liu body is handsome and handsome. Choose a copybook as a template. If you are learning from a teacher, the teacher will guide you to learn Chinese characters or choose copybooks. For self-study, I recommend Yan Zhenqing Jiamiao Monument, Diligence Monument (one of two choices) and Liu Gongquan's Shence Army Monument.

4. Methods of learning Chinese characters. According to my experience, at the beginning, you can start with strokes or strokes. But in terms of solid foundation, it is better to write strokes first. I remember that there are introductory copybooks (both Yan and Liu) selling regular script in the market, in which the basic strokes are very standardized and there are specific writing methods. I suggest buying a copy to write. Once the strokes are familiar, you can draw red. Write a double hook first, that is, draw the outline of the words on the edge paper with a pen (it is recommended to use an oily pen instead of a gel pen) to imitate it. Then write a single hook, that is, draw the skeleton of the word on the paper with a pen to imitate it. Finally, write according to the copybook. The approximate ratio is that if you want to write a line of double hooks in a word, you have to write two lines of single hooks and two lines of temporary writing. 1:2:2

5. stick to it. Calligraphy is not a quick skill, so be prepared for a protracted war. Stick to it every day, preferably without interruption. Some people say that if you don't leave your fist and your mouth, and you don't practice for three days, your previous achievements will be discounted. If you don't practice for ten days, all your previous efforts will be in vain.

The above is my little experience. I haven't practiced calligraphy for a long time. If there is anything wrong, I hope the landlord won't laugh. Thank you.

Finally, I hope the landlord's day will be successful! ^__^
