Learning calligraphy
The reason why I don’t agree to follow seal script and official script I started learning calligraphy because learning seal script first encountered a problem that was difficult to understand, which increased the difficulty of learning; secondly, the era when seal script rose and became common is relatively far away from now. Most of today's people do not know seal script. Today, seal script, as a type of font, still has its value for artistic appreciation, but its practical value is no longer what it used to be. I think that for people who just want to learn calligraphy to write neat and beautiful regular script and running script to meet the needs of study and work, they don’t need to learn seal script. Official script is easier to read and write than seal script, but compared with regular script, pointillism appears to be more graceful and soft, but not strong enough, and the structure is easy to distribute evenly. It is difficult to learn official script well and then regular script, but learn regular script well and then learn official script Yi? This is for beginners. , if you want to get a glimpse of its secrets and reach a profound artistic realm, it is not easy to learn any font well.
Su Dongpo, a calligrapher of the Song Dynasty, said: "True is like standing, walking is like walking, and grass is like walking." ?It means that regular script is like standing, running script is like walking, and cursive script is like running. Model here means model and model. Regular script has clear stipples, well-proportioned combinations, and square shapes. It should be well-organized and suitable for beginners. Fengfang, a calligraphy theorist of the Ming Dynasty, said: To learn calligraphy, one must first write regular script. Once regular script is completed, it is time to turn it into running script. After the running script is completed, it is turned into cursive script. ?For beginners, if they bypass regular script and directly learn running script or cursive script, they will neglect the basic stippling and structural training of regular script, and the written characters will be prone to irregular stippling, weak pen strength, and uneven density. The structure is unstable and the proportions are inappropriate. Therefore, Tang Sun said in court: "If you don't understand the true picture, you will be confused by practicing grass." Wang Diyu of the Ming Dynasty also said: "In recent times, many people practice grass. They practice grass before learning the truth. It is like a person trying to walk without learning to stand. It is ridiculous." ?
As for which font should be the best starting point for beginners to learn calligraphy, benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions. It is not necessary and impossible to force uniformity. As long as you get the method and work hard, you can achieve success by starting with any font. It can be said that we reach the same destination through different paths. But the time and energy it takes and the distance traveled may be quite different. On this issue, I still stubbornly believe that it is appropriate to follow the standard.
Regular script has its rudimentary form since the Han Dynasty. It became very popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and reached its peak in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Which dynasty is best for beginners to learn?
I think that when learning calligraphy from Tang Kai, there are rules to follow, and the strokes can be written in a square, rectangular, round, straight, moderate length, appropriate weight, and a stable structure, thus laying a solid foundation.
Some people think that the Tang Kai script is strict and it is easy to be bound by the strict rules when learning. They suggest that beginners should start from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, saying that this can make the writing innocent and free. I think it is very necessary to write characters that are either ancient, handsome, solemn, elegant, majestic, unrestrained, solemn, or flying. In short, they have a certain style and characteristics. For beginners, the structure should be neat and orderly. As Sun Guoting said: When you are new to distribution, you should strive for fairness and justice; now that you know fairness and justice, pursue danger and danger; once you are able to avoid danger and danger, return to fairness and justice. ?If you don't learn Pingzheng at the beginning, your words will be crooked and unruly; but if you are too Pingzheng, you will be dull and lifeless, so you must pursue danger; if you go too far, you will be crazy and stateless, so you have to return to Pingzheng. This is the process of repeated learning and continuous sublimation. In terms of fairness and justice, Tang Kai is well deserved. Liang Liang of the Qing Dynasty said: "Studying calligraphy must be based on the Tang Dynasty stele. When it is extremely strong and strong, it can then be transferred to the Jin Dynasty. Then the charm will have a strong character. Otherwise, it will be written as weak." ?Which one should first learn to be strict in laws or to learn to be free and indulgent? Tang Xuhao's "Lun Shu" says: ?When you first learn, you should first learn the muscles and bones. If the muscles and bones are not upright, the flesh will not be attached.
?This is very insightful. I agree to start with stipple painting of thin and stiff Tang Kai script.
The regular script of Ouyang Xun, a calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, has a clean pen and precise structure, which has a great influence on later generations. The European calligraphy "Huangfujun Monument" best represents the dangerous style of the European calligraphy, and it is the clearest and most complete among the printed European calligraphy. The writing style of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" is simple, thick and dignified, yet upright and vigorous, pursuing steepness while maintaining a smooth structure. Liang highly praised the European calligraphy and said: "If you write the European calligraphy, it can be written on any stele or tablet." Yang Shoujing of the Qing Dynasty said: "Ouyang Xinben's Liquan Ming was recommended by Zhao Zigu as the ultimate standard of Kaifa, and no one has any objection." ?Beginners can avoid the problem of loose structure by learning these two monuments.
The "Duobao Pagoda Stele" written by Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher of the Mid-Tang Dynasty when he was 44 years old, mostly uses square pens. It has a clear contrast between horizontal and vertical weight, rich in three-dimensionality, and has a neat and rigorous structure, which is suitable for beginners. Some of Yan Zhenqing's works in his later years have plump and powerful strokes and wide and comfortable structures. They often pursue innocence and return to simplicity, which is easy to be bloated and ugly for beginners, so it is not suitable as a way to get started.
The "Mysterious Pagoda Stele" and "Shence Army Stele" written by Liu Gongquan, a calligrapher of the late Tang Dynasty, use both square and round strokes, and the stipples are clear and vigorous, like iron bones. The center of the structure is tightly gathered, and the four sides are stretched out. It can achieve thin and hard strokes and rigorous structure.
As long as the professor knows the method and the scholar perseveres, it will not be a problem for the monuments mentioned above to be included in the monuments within half a year to a year.
