Tools: Beginners can learn regular script. The best tool for regular script is the central pen, and it is best to use Yang Hao (it is recommended to use the Shanlian Lake pen), because Yang Hao can practice basic skills. Paper can be made of Xuan paper (water writing board can also be used), inkstone is generally Tam inkstone, and ink can be made of Dege ink (remember, after you go home, you must mix water, but don't mix water, and ink can easily wrinkle the paper. )
Elbow and wrist: when writing big letters, it is best to hang your wrist, that is, your arm should not touch the table, and hang it parallel to the table.
Selected posts: Four people can use ancient regular script, such as Ou Yangxun's Ninety percent Palace.
After reading: read a word, look carefully, where are the strokes, write it again after reading this post, then think about the words in the post together, write it again, then compare and find out the shortcomings.
Start with regular script, because regular script can standardize your structure and strokes. Personally, I suggest starting with Yan Ti and Liu Ti, but it's difficult for European style and Zhao Ti. After three or four months of practice, you can practice some running scripts, such as Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion.
Pay attention to books that practice calligraphy. You can watch it online. Since you want to improve your calligraphy in a short time, and the requirements are not very high, you should practice your structure first, pay attention to the collocation of all parts of your handwriting, read more books and other people's stickers, and read more things written by others online. Start with strokes, then practice radicals, and finally practice radicals and murals with words. Don't worry when you write, write slowly. Every time you practice for a long time, you will feel tired, and this feeling will improve!
Practicing calligraphy will be boring, and you may have the idea of giving up after practicing for a while, so stick to it. Brush and pen practice together, and the pen can practice running script directly.
Also, it is very helpful for people with good handwriting to consult and obtain some classics. Compare what you write every week, or show it to others, compare what you absorb with what you write well, and learn to appreciate calligraphy.
When buying brushes, don't buy expensive ones, just buy useful ones. Don't buy long peak pens, usually buy wool and rabbit hair, or double two kinds of brushes.
If you think regular script is practiced neatly and the strokes are clear, you can practice running script. Running script is easier to master than regular script. You can copy the copybook yourself first. So you will feel it slowly, and when you feel it when you write, it will be overwhelming.
Correctly speaking, calligraphy is not just a simple brush culture. China's calligraphy is a part of our great national studies and our excellent culture. Calligraphers are often masters of Chinese studies. But now some people who engage in calligraphy pursue fame and fortune, and calligraphers abound. After learning calligraphy, you must not be complacent, but keep a rigorous and practical attitude, because the history of calligraphy needs people to calm down and do it. Don't simply think that calligraphy is writing, which contains a lot! It is also helpful to know more about Chinese studies.
