Read more inspiring book reviews, book reviews, creative feelings, techniques and other theoretical articles; Read more ancient original posts and master demonstrations; Look at the works written better than yourself, and look at the works written worse than yourself. Through comparative analysis, find the gap, try to catch up, find the advantage, and establish self-confidence. "Look" here means "research". If you can't remember anything after reading it, it's meaningless to read it or not.
Be good at asking teachers (people who write better than themselves) more questions, and be specific when asking questions, such as: how to write? Words with left and right structures, rules for the combination of radicals and radicals, etc. Such questions are more specific and easy for teachers to answer. If you ask, "How to write a pen? I'm afraid the teacher can only give a general answer to the question of how to write a good word structure. When asking questions, you'd better find a teacher nearby. In this way, the teacher can not only answer questions, but also show you, often with twice the result.
Whether you look more and ask more questions, you should think more. It's no use just looking without thinking, and it's no use just asking without thinking. If you don't think about it, you won't see anything good and you won't ask any good questions. Here, "think more and think more" focuses on the repeated study of "excellent works" and the profound understanding and understanding of life. In life, if we find the same beautiful "things" in sister arts such as poetry, music, drama, dance and painting, we must learn nutrition from history, philosophy and aesthetics and constantly improve our aesthetic ability. Apart from poetry, what is said here is kung fu outside words, which is very important. In fact, everyone who practices calligraphy has this experience. After writing a certain amount of words, he died, and it is difficult to improve any more. This explains the crux of the problem. If you want to improve again, only profound cultural knowledge and rich artistic accomplishment can help. Some people say that temporary posts only account for 5% of learning calligraphy well, and extra-word kung fu accounts for 95%. Although this standard is difficult to quantify, there is no doubt that it is very important for calligraphy to reach a high level.
