What do the three dots next to some words in ancient calligraphy posts mean?

This word is misspelled.

Generally speaking, it is normal for calligraphers to make mistakes in a very long work. Knowing that this word is wrongly written, I will point three dots beside it, indicating that it is wrongly written, and it is rarely altered, which is quite common in Zhao Mengfu's works. Now we can also use this method when writing long articles and cursive scripts. Another example is the inscription, which can be explained in the inscription. These are all possible. The following figure is an example of Zhao Mengfu processing method.

Four questions about learning calligraphy 1. What is the relationship between the spirit and strength of cursive script and the strength of holding the pen? 2. Why are many cursive scripts different from the standard? 3,。 How to grasp the rules of regular script? What is the word "one big and one small"? 4. To what extent should the running script copy the ancient posts? How to unify self-style and legal post standards?

Between the lines, I know that you are not ordinary, and you don't want to become a vulgar person. Independent thinking and calm thinking based on this are the characteristics of a master, but please don't be proud. The cursive script is not clear because the rhythm of "lifting" and "lifting" in regular script is not well practiced. 2. After so many years and thousands of years, some words in cursive script include ancient cursive script and simplified Chinese characters (simplified Chinese characters are not modern simplified Chinese characters, but things like "Yu" and "Yu", which is difficult to define. I suggest you read more reference books such as Xinhua Dictionary, Ancient Chinese Dictionary and Calligraphy Dictionary. But standards must be followed. 3. The composition of regular script. Well, if the grid is still closed, the center line will be folded. Although this is a stopgap measure, it will go through. Your desk may be too small, so the overall view is blurred. Try changing it to a bigger table. As for the word "one big and one small", because of some uncertain words, you will unconsciously want to control it, which will make it smaller, and words that are too big will also become smaller. Practice should always be based on comparison (comparing with the original post repeatedly), pertinence (correcting one's own problems) and objectivity (objectively looking at the pros and cons of copybooks and choosing characters). I dare not jump to a conclusion about running script for the time being, and leave it for everyone to understand and communicate in the future.
