My handwriting is terrible after work. I want to start practicing pen writing and develop calligraphy. Please recommend a practice method and a copy, whose copy is better.

if you want to learn Chinese calligraphy well, you should choose the right brush, the right paper and the right pasting method. These three items are crucial.

If you want to learn hard writing well, it is very important to use the correct method of posting.

(Chinese calligraphy) Choose the correct brush:

There are many kinds of brushes. When learning for the first time, I hope you will choose the "doubled both brush" lake brush. Because doubled both brush's lake pen is hard and easy to master, it is very important for your future study.

When choosing a pen tip, we should choose an appropriate length, because the pen tip is too long to master, but the pen tip length can contain a lot of ink, which is suitable for writing cursive script in one go. The pen tip length can ensure enough ink, whereas the short pen tip is suitable for writing regular script, which is easy to master.

When choosing a pen, you should also take into account the copied tablet. The so-called "use a pen used by a certain family and write his kind of words". To judge what kind of pen is used, it is the best way to look at his handwriting directly: if the style is strong, choose Jian Hao; If you are charming and plump, choose softness; Hard and soft, then choose doubled both brush. The characteristics of the pen also affect the written calligraphy, so as to achieve the wonderful situation of calligraphy.

another point is the font size. Use a large pen to write large characters and a small pen to write small characters. Writing big characters with a small pen is easy to damage and can't make it self-sufficient, while writing small characters with a large pen is a bit "killing the chicken with an ox knife".

(Chinese calligraphy) Choose the right paper:

For beginners, it's better to use rough edge paper and meta-book paper, and then use Xuan paper after a certain achievement.

Maobian paper is bamboo paper produced in Jiangxi province. It is delicate, thin and soft, with light yellow color, no water resistance and good ink-holding and water absorption. It is suitable for writing and printing ancient books. Maobian paper produced in Sichuan can be divided into two categories: one is hand-made raw edges, soft cotton, thick and delicate, light yellow in color, and the two sides feel the same, and it is made by hand with tender bamboo pulp. Moderate water absorption, writing feel is quite good, the majority of calligraphy lovers are very fond of it, in order to practice affordable varieties.

meta book paper is a kind of bamboo paper. It was called red pavilion paper in ancient times. Using the tender bamboo as raw material, the writing paper with brush is made by hand. Location: Fuyang City. It is called Xie Gong Paper or Xie Gong Note. It is characterized by white and flexible, slightly fragrant with bamboo, easy to dissolve in water, impervious to ink, and not moth-eaten or discolored after long storage. In ancient times, it was used for painting and calligraphy, writing official documents, making books and so on; After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was mainly used as a student's capital book, mounting and painting axes, etc. In addition, it can also be used as superior wrapping paper.

Xuan paper is divided into raw Xuan, semi-cooked Xuan and cooked Xuan. Shengxuan has strong water absorption and water affinity, and it is easy to produce rich Mo Yun changes. By splashing ink and accumulating ink, it can collect water and faint ink, and achieve the artistic effect of water flowing. Use it for freehand brushwork. Cooked Xuan is coated with alum during processing, so the paper is harder than raw Xuan, and its water absorption capacity is weak, so that the ink and color will not spread out when used. Therefore, the characteristics make cooked propaganda suitable for meticulous painting rather than ink freehand painting. Semi-cooked Xuan is also processed from raw Xuan, and its water absorption capacity is between the first two, which is suitable for writing in small letters.

(Both brush and hard pen are suitable) The correct method of posting:

Calligraphy has five styles: seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. Most people and I think that beginners should take regular script as the basis, but some people think that they should learn official script. The arrangement of regular script structure is just the middle stage. It evolved from the official script. If the regular script is written flat and flat, the brushwork of Gabor is the official script. Writing simply and flowing is running script, and writing simply and cursing is now grass. If we start from official script, it is difficult to master the brushwork of regular script, because the brushwork of regular script is richer and more complicated than official script. It can be seen that practicing the basic skills of regular script can be used as the basis for practicing and writing each body.

With the basic knowledge of regular script, master the shelf structure and brushwork of regular script, and then write Wei Bei, official script, running script and cursive script. Even seal script can get twice the result with half the effort. Regular script can enrich and change the structure of Wei Bei and Lishu, such as Zhu Suiliang's regular script; Regular script infiltrates human running script and cursive brushwork, which can increase agility, such as some regular script inscriptions in Zhao Mengfu.

Some beginners are eager to practice running script and cursive script. Because they don't have the basic skills of regular script, they write "while flying like a dragon and flying phoenix", but they don't have the basic rules of font and the basic skills of punctuation. As a result, they get twice the result with half the effort and take a detour.

The best way to practice regular script is to paste it. In fact, you can paste any paste. You can choose a tablet according to your own preferences, such as Yan, Ou, Liu and Zhao, but try to buy better quality copybooks when buying tablet stickers.

on the basis of selecting posts, you have to go through five steps: reading posts, tracing, copying posts, memorizing posts and creating.

the first step is to read the post

We all know the pronunciation of Chinese characters on the post, so we don't need to read it again. Read what? Read the font, read the structure, read the strokes, and analyze the stroke characteristics of the characters and the relationship between the strokes. For example, when we read the Chinese character "Zhong", we should read that one vertical line of "Zhong" passes through the middle of "Kou", and the word "Kou" is slightly flat. The long vertical line in the middle is divided into two sections with equal length by the lower horizontal line of "Kou", and the upper horizontal line of "Kou" is divided into two sections with equal length. This is the reading of glyphs and structures. Different fonts and strokes have different characteristics.

the second step is tracing. "Tracing" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners describe the printed red copybook with a brush along the handwriting. "Imitation" refers to copying posts, that is, covering the model words with transparent paper and writing one by one along the shadow of the words on the paper, which is also called writing imitation.

the third step is to post. It refers to putting the copybook aside and watching the copybook write word by word. This method is helpful to master the brushwork and meaning of the words, but it is not easy to master the structure of the words.

the fourth step is to memorize posts. Refers to the method of removing the copybook on the basis of the copy, recalling the font on the copybook according to your own memory and writing it on paper. This is a key step in practicing Chinese characters. Only by carefully examining the written words and knowing them in mind can you write accurately. When writing, if you can see the exact font of the Chinese characters you want to write on the white paper, so that "the words are on the paper, and the words are on the chest", it is not a problem to write a good hand.

the fifth step is posting. On the basis of mastering the writing method of the words on the copybook, I learned the writing method of the words not on the copybook by analogy. According to the needs of one's own expression, writing a paragraph with center, content and self-contained system is creation.

If you can write a hand that is close to the copybook in your daily study and life, your goal of practicing calligraphy will be achieved.

posture:

When practicing calligraphy, we should pay attention to the posture and method of writing, so as to achieve "head straight, body straight, arms open and feet safe". Generally, there are writing postures and methods in copybooks.
