Chinese characters have a long history and are widely used. About a quarter of the world population use them. Besides practical value, they also have artistic value. Therefore, calligraphy works are often accompanied by paintings, which are the assets of our culture and worth cherishing and carrying forward. First of all, we should pay attention to writing tools, such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which are generally called "Four Treasures of the Study". Soft brush is soft, and the words written are rich, such as sheep hair brush; Doubled both brush's pen, on the other hand, is a mixture of just hair and soft hair, such as seven sons and three yang, which combines rigidity and softness. Pay attention to four points when choosing a pen: the nib should be "sharp"; Be "neat" when pressing open; The pen belly should be full and "round"; Bristles are "healthy" and elastic. Use cold water when sending pens, and let everything go with the flow. Please clean the pen after use. (2) the ink texture should be fine, the glue should be light, and it is best to use light smoke. The ink is black and shiny, with a slight fragrance. Clean water should be used when grinding ink, and the main point of action is to "press it again and move it gently" in order to make the ink moderate in thickness. Ink loses its luster after grinding overnight. As for the ink sold by modern merchants, paper is used for purchase. As for smooth paper, it is not easy to absorb ink, which is difficult for beginners to control and will hurt the pen. Should be avoided. The paper is afraid of wrinkling, and the ink is not complete. I'm also afraid of the tide, and my handwriting is scattered. I need to wrap it in another layer of paper and put it in a dry place. (4) The inkstone is top grade, fine in texture and can be inked. After use, the inkstone should be cleaned immediately, so as not to accumulate Su Mo and damage the nib. In addition, some other writing tools, such as paperweights, should be prepared to hold down the paper so as not to be affected by wind and slip. Pad cloth, use wool fabric to absorb ink under the paper to avoid smoothness, so as not to stick ink and dirty the paper; Pen holder (also known as "pen mountain") is used to stop writing, so that pen and ink are not easily contaminated with other things; Pen curtain (also known as "pen bed"), wrapped with fine bamboo weaving brush, easy to carry, etc. It is essential for those who practice writing with heart. Secondly, we should pay attention to the posture of posture writing, take natural comfort as the principle, generally focus on sitting posture, and practice to a certain extent. In order to take care of the overall situation, you can also adopt a standing posture. Beginners should pay attention to sit up straight, relax their muscles, leave their chest away from the edge of the table, naturally open their elbows outward, put their feet flat, keep their heads straight, and lean forward slightly. Generally, they press paper with one hand and hold a pen with two eyes. Put your eyes on the paper. When writing, we should pay attention to the principle of "the palm is weak". Holding a brush is different from holding a pen. Hold the pen container straight, press the first section of the thumb, press the index finger inward, and press the thumb against the pen body. Then hook the middle finger inward, and the upper part of the ring finger nail abuts against the pen tube to reconcile the strength; Finally, the little finger clings to the ring finger, and the strength can be balanced. From each according to his ability, this is the real "finger"; But when writing, the fingers are bent and the palm is empty, so the pen will be elastic, which is "palm deficiency" When writing, we should also pay attention to the wrist method, which can be divided into three types: pillow wrist method, lifting wrist method and hanging wrist method. Wrist and elbow are flat on the desktop at the same time, which is suitable for writing small characters. Wrist hanging, elbow still sticking to the desktop for wrist lifting, suitable for Chinese character writing; As for Chinese characters or cursive scripts with a square of 12 cm or more, it is necessary to use the hanging wrist method, so that the wrists and elbows are suspended to write freely. Thirdly, pay attention to the stroke "stroke", which is the basic writing method of stippling. There are many methods, and we often use the "eight-character method". According to its order of strokes, it is explained as follows: the side method is the starting point. Stroke gesture is like a bird flying sideways, which is divided into three parts. Wait until the ink enters the paper, and then slowly put the nib back. Lofa: Draw horizontally. The stroke should be at both ends of the middle and high. Start with the hidden nib, input the pen to the upper left, then rotate it to the right, cross the midpoint, and press it down when receiving the pen. When writing, the ink mark is secretly condensed with the pen core, so that the front of the pen is pressed on the paper, and the pen holder leans slightly to the left. Nufa: Vertical painting. When writing, press. Prepare to make a gesture of picking up the pen. Stroke: that is, pick a pen. If the stroke is like a jump, it means that the pen is like a jump. You must squat down the nib first to gain momentum. Don't rush, let the nib become neat and beautiful like silver. Stroke: that is, short stroke to the right. The so-called "rowing" is to whip the horse, because you can't be thin, weak or sweep like a brush. The pecking method is short to the left. The so-called "pecking" means writing paper, which comes out when it stops in front, just like a bird pecking at something, so you should write quickly. The pecking method is to press to the right. Now it's called "pressing" The above is often used, and mastering the basic stippling can get twice the result with half the effort. Fourth, it should be noted that the structure "structure" refers to the arrangement and combination of two or more stippling. Each word has a different stippling and shape collocation. When writing, we should take care of the relationship between the size and density of stroke lines, leave white space outside the ink color, and be sure to balance it evenly. For the words synthesized by the left and right parts, stippling should echo each other. Combination fonts are natural. When writing a word composed of upper and lower parts, we should first look at its shape and arrange it reasonably, so as to be stable. At the same time, in order to avoid flat fonts, the stroke size and shape should be slightly changed to appear vivid. But no matter how the shape of the word changes, the only constant is that the center of gravity of the word should be balanced and stable. In short, the structure of words should pay attention to density symmetry, careful strokes and stable center of gravity. Only by carefully observing the strengths of others and constantly correcting them. Practice hard, and the font will naturally be correct and neat. Fifth, we must pay attention to copying and practicing calligraphy, and we must carefully select inscriptions and copy more. "Pro" means to set up a model post next to it, measure the size and situation of words with our eyes and practice writing; Imitation is covered with tissue paper and described with twists and turns; The two are not the same. The ancients thought: "If you copy a book, you can get its meaning." In ancient times, for the convenience of learning a book, the basic strokes and characters were printed into red manuscripts for school children to copy and beginners to use. As for copy paper, there are so-called "Jiugongge", "Tian Zige" and "Mi Zige", which beginners can refer to when sorting out the structure. The famous works of Liu Gongquan and others all have their own calligraphy characteristics, which can be copied according to the learners' pen habits. Generally speaking, they should start with regular script and then practice calligraphy. Cursive script is practical, flexible in writing, and pays attention to the brushwork meaning connected between upper and lower characters, which is convenient for modern life.
