If you want to learn calligraphy well, you must first be prepared. The preparatory work includes selecting posts, choosing suitable writing tools and materials, mastering correct writing posture and writing posture, and learning the basic methods and processes of calligraphy.
Learning calligraphy, mastering writing rules as soon as possible and improving writing skills are the only way. However, there are thousands of ancient posts handed down from generation to generation. As a beginner, how should I choose a copybook that suits my entry?
Generally speaking, the selection of posts should follow four principles:
First, choose the classics in the post.
I ching said: "if you take the law, you can only take the law from the middle and the law from the bottom." Therefore, selecting posts is one of the important principles, that is to say, the method should be "high" and first-class famous posts should be selected to copy.
After historical scouring, these famous posts are recognized as classics with high artistic value and technical content. Copying these works directly can quickly improve your writing ability and aesthetic taste. Drawing on other people's posts, you will always see flowers in the fog, separated by a layer.
Learning well can only reach the level of copywriting; If you can't learn well, just wait. Only by learning the classic calligraphy posts can we learn the essence of classic calligraphy more directly and develop and innovate on the basis of the original posts. Especially for beginners, their appreciation level is not high, and they can't tell what they can learn and what they can't. They should choose classic law posts to copy.
Second, according to personal interests.
Intimate sex is the most effective. In other words, only when learners choose jobs according to their hobbies can they copy and persist with their heart and achieve twice the result with half the effort. If you don't like the copybook style you choose, it will be difficult to learn patiently when copying and learning, and it will be easy to give up halfway.
Of course, there is also a premise for choosing posts according to interests, that is, learners should have a clear understanding of their interests and the style and genre of copybooks, otherwise blindly choosing posts may not really suit them. After a beginner chooses a copybook, he must persevere and study hard in order to get good grades.
Third, the style of choice should not be too strong
Beginners should not learn calligraphy from works with strong personality, but should first master the * * * nature of the most basic calligraphy. Only by grasping the essence of writing, can they grasp the basic principles of writing more quickly, and then draw inferences from others to achieve mastery.
Fourth, the selection of posts should also take into account the quality of the version.
There are many versions of ancient calligraphy stickers on the market, but the quality, printing quality and arrangement of the selected rubbings are mixed. It is very important for beginners to choose a good version among many copybooks.
There are two kinds of copybooks: ink copy and rubbings. The choice of ink book mainly depends on its printing quality, and the handwriting should be clear and not deformed; When choosing rubbings, try to choose the original rubbings that have not been repaired by computer, because some rubbings look much clearer after processing, but they are very distorted and completely lose the charm of the original post, so try not to use them as templates.
