I used contact calligraphy for two or three years and practiced countless copybooks, but the effect was not obvious. Why?

There are several reasons. 1. If you have not found the basic rules of the calligraphy you are practicing, then you will get twice the result with half the effort.

2. The style of calligraphy you practice is not in line with your temperament. For example, if you are relatively quiet and introverted, but you prefer to practice cursive script, and cursive script requires a bold and bold temperament, then it will be uncomfortable.

Taken together, there are two ways to solve the problem. The most direct and quick way is to find a teacher who can teach by words and deeds and make progress faster.

In addition, if you are more confident in your understanding, you can read some teaching materials yourself. For example, when you practice Yan Zhenqing's "The Pagoda of Many Treasures", first of all, you need to understand Yan Zhenqing and the evolution of his personal calligraphy style from a broad perspective. That is to say, you have to know why he can write like that, while some calligraphers are different. kind of appearance.

Thirdly, you need to understand the characteristics of the post itself, the practice method, etc. Learning theory allows you to quickly find fundamental laws and then guide practice.

Of course, reading is the most important thing, because you can combine yourself to find the calligraphy that suits you. After all, the teacher knows you better than you do.

Hope you can gain something. I wish you can achieve satisfactory results as soon as possible.
