How do adults practice calligraphy?

First of all, the basic skills are solid, and simple copybooks are good; After the basic skills are mature, you can write some fonts you like, including cursive script, running script and seal script, mainly depending on your personal interests; If you want to upgrade, you can practice calligraphy, the quintessence of Chinese culture!

I found one for you. Let me show you!

How can I write a good hand? Why do some people practice calligraphy so hard, but the effect is not satisfactory? Let's talk about the problems that should be paid attention to in practicing calligraphy, hoping to bring you some inspiration.

1. time

In fact, there is no need to pay too much attention to the time of practicing calligraphy, as long as there is paper and pen in front of you. If you are a student, you can adjust your brain by writing during recess. You can also write when you just sit down and calm down. You can also write when you can't remember what to do at the moment to ease your mood. In short, as long as you have a heart to practice calligraphy and a pen and paper on your desk, you can use all kinds of free time to practice calligraphy.

2. Confidence

Some people have plenty of time, but they don't sit down and practice. The reason is probably that I didn't practice well before, but now I have no confidence. If so, please don't lose heart. Let me give you confidence. If you are confident now, no problem. Ok, now let's practice calligraphy together.

3. Method

The most important thing is the method!

Tip 1: Practice the bookshelf layout first, and then practice the brushwork.

Mind method: Some people can't practice calligraphy well because they don't grasp the key to practicing calligraphy.

First of all, please observe how modern buildings are built. Modern architecture often adopts frame structure. First, beam, column and floor concrete are poured, then brick walls are built, and finally decoration is carried out. The structure of beams and columns determines the shape of a building, and no matter how luxurious the decoration is, it is difficult to cover up the structural defects.

Similarly, the formation process of a good word should be like this. In fact, whether a word can give people a beautiful feeling depends on the shelf structure of strokes, or the layout of strokes. Reasonable spacing and proper stroke layout are good words. As for what is hidden, the winger, priority and so on can be ignored. If you don't believe me, look at the "bold" or "young circle" in the newspaper or computer. The strokes of these fonts are the same thickness from beginning to end, and there is no brushwork, but it does not affect the appearance.

In other words, the so-called brushwork, in a word, is equivalent to decorating a house, which can be decorated classically or elegantly. Similarly, under the established layout of a word stand, it is decorated with different brushwork, thus making the difference between regular script, Weibei, Songti and running script.

Therefore, to practice calligraphy, we must first practice the shelf of calligraphy and figure out how to lay it out. It's not too late to start practicing brushwork until you have a blueprint for every word in your heart. But now some people start practicing calligraphy, and they don't know what to do. They only care about brushwork. They focus on how to exert their strength and how to frustrate every day. It's in vain. Over time, they lost confidence in practicing calligraphy.

Tip 2: Practice one word every day.

Mind method: please see clearly, it is to practice a word, not to write a word.

There are all kinds of copybooks on the market, and some of them are equipped with (translucent) white paper for beginners to copy. But it is this kind of binding design that has brought great energy waste to beginners and even killed their confidence in practicing calligraphy. The reason is that such a design usually does not conform to the practice rules.

In order to show the author's profound skill, every page of the copybook on the market is covered with the author's big and small words. Some beginners don't understand the truth, so they write it word by word in white paper. The author wrote a poem on this page, and he also wrote a poem along with it. He wrote a lot of words along the way, but may I ask: which word is well practiced? The result can only be to write a lot of waste paper, but not a word!

The method of practice should first be small steps and quick running, and professional practice. It's like learning radio exercises, one small step is proficient, and then learn the next small step. If you practice radio with the coach from beginning to end every day, just imagine, who can learn radio practice well? Even if you study well, you will be in trouble.

The same is true of writing. It is enough to practice one word every day. But the requirement is that the word can be traced back from description to copying, until it can be similar to the font on the copybook as soon as it is shot. At this point, you can go to the next word. Of course, you don't have to worry about practicing all the commonly used 3000 words in this way. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and quantitative change will cause qualitative change. As long as you can think more, summarize more and pay more attention to the rules of the layout of Chinese character bookshelves in practice, at a certain time, you will be able to achieve mastery through a comprehensive study, and good words will be freely revealed from your pen.

4. Precautions for practicing calligraphy

Let me talk about some problems that should be paid attention to when practicing calligraphy:

The first problem is the choice of writing tools. "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first get his tools." Whether it is a pen or a ballpoint pen, choose a good pen with smooth writing and uniform line thickness. The ink is too light to recognize; The ink is too dark, giving people a sense of oppression. In the exam, it often affects the mood of the marking teacher and causes unnecessary loss of points, so the ink color of the handwriting is blue and black.

The second question: Pay attention to the posture and method of writing when practicing calligraphy. Since most middle school students use ballpoint pens now, I will take ballpoint pens as an example to talk about writing posture and writing methods. When writing with a ballpoint pen, sit in a sitting position, so that your head should be straight, your body should be straight, your arms should be open, and your feet should be safe. Because the words written by ballpoint pen are small, the activity of the pen tip should be in the area with the best visual effect. Generally, the right hand holds the pen, and the position of the pen should be slightly to the right. The eyes are about 30cm away from the paper, and the chest is about10cm away from the table. Stretch your arms naturally and lay your forearms flat on the table. Press the left and right sides of the penholder with the fingertips of thumb and forefinger respectively, the left side of the first joint of the middle finger is close to the lower part of the penholder, and the ring finger and the little finger naturally bend into a semi-fist-like shape to press against the middle finger in turn to play a control role. The distance between the thumb and the pen tip is about 4 cm. The pen holder leans against the tiger's mouth and forms an angle of 45-60 degrees with the paper. The smaller the word, the bigger the angle. If you write with a pen, you should also pay attention to the outside of the pen tip and the inside of the pen tongue, so that the middle seam of the pen tip touches the paper surface to ensure uniform water discharge and smooth lines.

The third question: you should be calm when practicing calligraphy, and you should not be impetuous and perfunctory from beginning to end. When you write, you should be meticulous, and every stroke should be true. When someone is practicing calligraphy, they like to scribble before they finish. This kind of scribbling is a taboo for practicing calligraphy, which not only damages the life of the pen tip, but also makes the progress that has just been made go up in smoke for a long time.

Fourth question: Don't change fonts easily. To practice calligraphy, you should have perseverance and perseverance, and practice basic skills solidly. Practice calligraphy often, you can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days. Note: practice kung fu for one day, not ten days a day. On the basis of mastering the font structure, you can choose your favorite font and keep practicing. Don't change the font easily. Because once you change the font, you have to practice from the beginning.

The fifth question: we should combine learning with application and practice with writing. Some students write well when they practice calligraphy, but they write blindly when they do their homework, and they can never practice writing well. You usually use the words you have practiced, so write as well as you practiced. Only by practicing and using one can both middle schools and schools be used, and the combination of learning and using can be practiced well.
