The traditional way to learn calligraphy is to start from Tang Kai, and practice Nanbei Han Liqin seal script on the basis of writing regular script in reverse time. Another way of thinking is that starting from the immature characteristics of young people's hand muscles, we can start from Qin Zhuan, which has not changed much, from cursive script to regular script. These two concepts have their own reasons. However, I think the hard pen calligraphy we learn is essentially different from the brush calligraphy mentioned above. We can't follow its practice method, and we can't be confused by the traditional concept of learning brush first and then learning hard pen. Hard pen is widely used now. If you can't write China's calligraphy well, you can still write well. There is no need to take a detour.
What font should I practice in hard pen writing?
Starting from the characteristics of young people's hand muscle development and the uniform thickness and little change of hard pen calligraphy, we never ask for fonts with fast strokes and heavy changes. It is best to print in bold. The beauty of this font mainly lies in its structure. We can master the structure of fonts by trying to figure out and analyzing bold. On this basis, you can choose your favorite font according to your personality and hobbies and practice hard.
First, practice your eyes.
That is, read the post carefully. Huang Tingjian, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, said: "The ancients learned to write, not all of them copied. They often hang ancient calligraphy works on the wall, watch them intently, and decide to start writing. " Ou Yangxun in the Tang Dynasty found the inscription written by Suo Jing in the Jin Dynasty, and was reluctant to leave, so he sat down and read it for three days. The more posts you read, the higher your horizon, and you will know how to write. There is an idiom called "eyes are superior but eyes are inferior". I think: eye height is the premise of hand height. If you can't find beauty, you don't know what beauty is, let alone create it. Many students think that scribbling is the so-called running script, and the reason why ugliness is beautiful is because "the eyes are superior and the eyes are inferior."
Secondly, we should practice our hearts.
On the basis of careful observation, we should keep well-written model figures firmly in mind and engrave their glyphs deeply in our minds. Whenever the word is mentioned, we can immediately guess the shape of the word on the copybook. Do it with confidence and words in your heart.
Third, we should practice our hands.
Practice your eyes and brain to find out how to write words. You can think of the best effect of words in your mind, but it may not be written in your hand, because your brain may not be able to command your hand, and your hand may not be able to command your pen. The purpose of practicing hands is to achieve the consistency of heart and hand and handwriting, so practicing hands is also the same.
It's crucial. Hand training mainly refers to strength, wrist strength and hand feeling. If you write for a long time, you will feel sore fingers, sore wrists, hands that don't work, and exercise more. This phenomenon will disappear. Students who often help teachers copy questions on the blackboard and students who run blackboard newspapers often write quickly and well. This is how their finger strength and wrist strength are trained.
Also pay attention to practice the sense of touch, let the brain command the hand, and feel that the pen has become a part of the hand and an extension of the hand. Hands can easily command the pen, think fast, think slow, think light, think heavy, and write whatever effect you want.
Fourth, we should practice structure.
Because the key to practicing calligraphy is to master the structure of calligraphy. The structure of a word refers to the proportion of stroke length and the relationship between strokes. Xie Xiaodong sang in the song "China People": "The favorite character is the square character taught by Mr. Wang, and the square character should be like him …" The square character summarizes the structural characteristics of Chinese characters. I have mastered the structure of Chinese characters, and I have written square and beautiful bold characters. With a little change of strokes, I can write Chinese characters in various fonts, such as Song Ti, Wei Ti, Kai Ti, Imitation Song Ti, Pang Ti, Sima Ti and Li Shu. If you can't master the structure of Chinese characters, no matter how the strokes of Chinese characters are decorated and beautified, they are ugly. Therefore, mastering the structure of characters and writing bold characters is the key and foundation for practicing all fonts.
Fifth, we should practice strokes.
Many students have practiced calligraphy. Since they began to practice regular script, they have forgotten many writing rules and only remember pens. As a result, the words written are very cumbersome, like ghost symbols. Start in bold, grasp the font, and cancel the strokes.
Specific steps of practicing calligraphy
On the basis of practicing bold font, mastering the structure of characters and practicing basic skills, you can choose your favorite font to practice. The process of choosing fonts is called post selection. On the basis of selecting posts, it goes through five steps: reading posts, describing posts, copying posts, carrying posts and creating posts.
The first step is to read the post.
We all know the pronunciation of the posted Chinese characters, so we don't need to read them any more. Read what? Read fonts, read structures, read strokes, and analyze the relationship between stroke characteristics and strokes of Chinese characters. For example, when we read the word "Zhong" in bold, we should read that a vertical line of the word "Zhong" passes through the middle of the word "Kou", and the horizontal length of the word "Kou" is slightly flat. The long vertical line in the middle is divided into two sections with the same length by the lower horizontal line of the word "Kou", and the upper horizontal line of the word "Kou" is divided into two sections with the same length. This is an interpretation of glyphs and structures. Different fonts and strokes have different characteristics. The changes of strokes in hard pen calligraphy are not obvious, and it is not easy for middle school students to master them, so I won't say much here.
The second step is tracking.
"Tracing" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners use a blue pen to trace the printed red copybook along the handwriting.
[writing]
"Imitation" refers to copying the post, that is, covering the model words with transparent paper and writing them 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 means to put the copybook aside and watch the copybook written on the homework paper word by word. This method is helpful to master the brushwork and meaning of Chinese characters, but it is not easy to master the structure of Chinese characters.
The fourth step is to recite the post.
Refers to the method of removing the copybook on the basis of copying, recalling the font on the copybook according to your own memory and writing it on the homework paper. This is a key step in practicing calligraphy. Only by carefully examining the words you read and write, can you write accurately. When writing, if you can see the exact font of the Chinese characters to be written on 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 creation.
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 self-expression, writing a paragraph with center, content and self-contained system is creation. If you can write a word close to copybook in your daily study life, the purpose of calligraphy practice for middle school students will be achieved.
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 middle finger is close to the lower part of the penholder, and the ring finger and little finger naturally bend into a semi-clenched fist to press against the middle finger in turn, which plays a control role in the municipality directly under the central government. 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.
Matters needing attention when editing this paragraph
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.
[teaching 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 middle finger is close to the lower part of the penholder, and the ring finger and little finger naturally bend into a semi-clenched fist to press against the middle finger in turn, which plays a control role in the municipality directly under the central government. 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 you should practice solid basic skills. 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 practicing calligraphy, but they are blind when writing homework. They can never practice calligraphy 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.
