Is there a way out for self-study calligraphy? What keeps you going?

There were many talented calligraphers in the ancient history of China, but in our modern society, there are fewer and fewer people who have made achievements in calligraphy. So more and more people want to pick up calligraphy again. In fact, calligraphy is completely self-taught and must be self-taught. Calligraphy is a kind of analogy art. If you want to learn calligraphy well, you should not only write well, but also have profound knowledge and rich self-study knowledge. Self-cultivation is the driving force of calligraphy persistence.

First, the feasibility of self-learning calligraphy We take Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in ancient China, as an example. He is a student of Teacher Wei. Mrs. Wei has many students, but only Wang Xizhi can become a master of calligraphy. The reason is that Wang Xizhi is diligent enough, so it is more important to learn calligraphy by himself. Don't expect others' guidance, which will enable you to get ahead in one step. Moreover, if you want to practice calligraphy well, it is more important to improve your academic knowledge. Only when there are mountains and valleys in your heart can you write exquisite calligraphy. So learn calligraphy well, and your whole temperament will be improved.

Second, the conditions for self-learning calligraphy We realize the feasibility of self-learning calligraphy, and then we will start self-learning. There are many calligraphy patterns handed down in ancient China, which provide conditions for self-study. In the early stage of calligraphy, you can copy these calligraphy templates left by the ancients first. Experience the true meaning and mystery of art from it. Besides, we must be interested in calligraphy. Only interest is our motivation to learn. For those who teach themselves calligraphy, they are willing to work hard for calligraphy because they like it, and they don't need the supervision of teachers, so they can experience the fun of learning calligraphy.

Third, calligraphy cultivation The most important thing to learn calligraphy is to maintain a good attitude, which is why people say that learning calligraphy can cultivate cultivation. Only by maintaining a calm and natural attitude can we write calligraphy works that have been famous for thousands of years. Blindly eager for quick success and instant benefit is doomed to become a calligrapher.
