Introduction to brush calligraphy: how to "choose posts" in regular script and running script

What kind of copybook should I choose for regular script and running script? Let me sort out the contents and methods of this part about the study card. I hope you like it.

First, the "post selection" of regular script (real book).

"Words must worship Tang (Europe, Yan and Liu)" is a layman's statement, but it is not unreasonable. "Tang Jie", there are rules in writing, and every word should be correct. This is the solemn expression of Tang Kai's decree. However, because of this strict law, they are "more disciplined than clever" and slightly stupid.

Jiang Kui's "Continued Book Spectrum" said that "true books are based on truth, and this secular theory is also a loss of Tang people". Feng Ban's "Blunt Book of Songs" said that "knot words, Shu Ren used reason, and Tang people used it. Principles of use? Do what you want to do? The Tang method was founded on the principle of Jin people, and the magic weapon has a common word, which is not as good as Jin people. " Jiang Kui also said, "The magic of true books in ancient and modern times, without Zhong Yuanchang, (Zhong You) its debt is not as good as Wang Yi. Look at the secret floors of the two houses. They are all full of wine. Why were they arrested? Huang Tingjian said in "The Inscription and Postscript of the Valley" that "the right army's brushwork, such as Mencius' good nature and Zhuang Zhou's talk about nature, is all natural". In Liu Xizai's Outline of Books, he said, "The book of the Right Army is commented in two languages: strong in spirit and long in rhyme. "Yuan Ang's Book Review of Ancient and Modern Times said that" books are like Xie Zi, and those who are not correct are refreshing ". Thus, the regular script of Zhong You and Wang Xizhi occupies an important position in calligraphers' minds. Zhong You's representative works include Announcement Table, He Jietie and Ji Zhi Table, while Wang Xizhi's regular script includes Huang Tingjian, Cao E and Le Yi Lun.

Second, the "post-selection" of running script.

From ancient times to the present, the representative running script works are as follows: First, Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting and Preface to Saint Education.

Fang Xiaoru said in Xun Zhi Zhai Ji that "scholars take Lanting as a scholar, and scholars take the Analects of Confucius as Mencius. It is not bad to present a surplus book, but naturally, it has all the beauty. This is also beyond the reach of those who are forced to work. " Mi Fei said in the Book History that "the running script calligraphy is the original, the world calligraphy is the second, and the right army running script is the first. The shade is like a cloud, strange and polymorphic. Next year, the right army, the book is old and easy. "

Followed by Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrificing a Nephew", Su Dongpo's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post", Mi Fei's "Shu Su Post" and "Marsh Stream Poetry Volume". Of course, among the later calligraphers, some leading calligraphers and works such as Song Fengge by Huang Tingjian and Poems by Cai Xiang also appeared, but their influence can't compete with the above posts in selecting posts. There is also a saying that "choose a position according to your own personality and hobbies". This certainly has its merits, but I think there is no stable "character" for beginners, especially children. With the continuous improvement and deepening of aesthetic level, calligraphy is also progressing. Self-cultivation with superb model essays will gradually improve one's aesthetic level.
