There are methods for calligraphy
1. What is the difference between writing and calligraphy?
Simply put, writing Chinese characters with a pen is called writing. Only when the written words meet the requirements of calligraphy is it called calligraphy. The requirements for calligraphy are mainly reflected in three aspects: brushwork, structure, and composition. In terms of brushwork, the starting, running, and ending of strokes and the overall shape must be accurately expressed; in terms of structure, they must be accurate, beautiful, and spiritual; in terms of composition, , the Qi movement should be smooth, rhythm clear, appropriate density, overall harmony, etc. These requirements of calligraphy are also the requirements of "writing well". "Writing" is just writing out the words, and "writing" plus the requirement of "writing well" is calligraphy.
2. Are simplified characters and standardized characters the same thing?
Standardized characters refer to Chinese characters that comply with the standards promulgated by the country, that is, they are simplified and standardized by the state. Simplified characters officially published in tabular form and inherited characters that have not been compiled and simplified. The current standard for the implementation of standardized characters is based on the latest "General Standardized Chinese Character List" promulgated in July 2013 (the original related character list is no longer in use, and this shall prevail). It is a supporting standard for the implementation of the "National Common Language and Character Law". It is a basic norm related to the development of national education, culture and informatization, covering a wide range of areas and having great social influence. Simplified characters are only relative to traditional characters. As long as the strokes are omitted and the structure is simplified compared to traditional characters, they can be called simplified characters. Not all simplified characters are standardized characters. For example, the second batch of abandoned simplified characters and randomly created simplified characters are not standardized characters. Not all standardized characters are simplified characters. For example, the inherited characters (口, The characters (mountain, water, wood, etc.) cannot be called simplified characters.
3. Is it better to practice hard-pen calligraphy by writing on ancient copybooks or modern copybooks?
This depends on the purpose of learning. If the purpose is to write standardized and beautiful words that can meet the needs of daily work and life, there is no problem in practicing modern calligraphy. If you want to conduct in-depth research on traditional calligraphy, achieve some achievements in calligraphy, and then achieve a certain attainment, then studying the ancient inscriptions is indispensable. Of course, directly studying ancient inscriptions, such as "Ling Fei Jing" in regular script, Zhao Mengfu's running script, etc., does not fail to meet the needs of people's daily work and life, but it will have certain limitations. Because on the one hand, although the styles of ancient inscriptions are diverse, there are few systematic and regular summaries, and the guidance is not strong when practicing. On the other hand, if you use a hard pen to directly write on ancient inscriptions, you often cannot grasp the thickness changes of the brush strokes. , and the vertical writing method of ancient inscriptions is completely different from the contemporary horizontal writing in the structure and composition of Chinese characters. This vertical to horizontal conversion is not something that beginners can adapt to in a short time. Today's copybooks are the result of hard-pen calligraphers summarizing their experience in many years of practice. They have the unity of writing style, scientific classification and step-by-step systematicity. They can provide all-round guidance to beginners and can better meet the needs of daily work and writing. the needs of life.
4. Is there any conflict between learning hard-pen calligraphy and brush calligraphy at the same time?
As long as there is sufficient time, there is no conflict between practicing the two at the same time. On the contrary, they will promote each other. On the one hand, practicing hard-pen calligraphy can improve the structure of calligraphy. There are differences in stroke thickness between brush calligraphy and hard-pen calligraphy, but there is no difference in structure. When writing with hard pen, we can understand and practice the structural rules summarized by the ancients, and then apply them to the writing of calligraphy with brush. On the other hand, practicing calligraphy can enrich the expressiveness of hard-pen calligraphy strokes. People's aesthetic appreciation of hard-pen calligraphy is often influenced by traditional calligraphy. Therefore, if the strokes of hard-pen calligraphy contain rich strokes, clicks, and pauses in the starting, moving, turning, and ending of the stroke, the entire character will be more attractive and will be well received by people. The better you write the strokes of calligraphy with brush, the more precise the strokes of hard-pen calligraphy will become.
5. What is the correct way to practice calligraphy?
This question is very important. Lintie is the only way to practice calligraphy, and it is the most correct and most effective method. Calligraphy is different from painting. Painting requires sketching, while calligraphy requires familiarity. This familiarity means mastering the words on the copybook. Only familiarity makes perfect. Although some friends can insist on posting every day, and the number of posts is also large, but there is no effect, which shows that the method of posting is incorrect. Therefore, we must understand the correct method of copywriting. The requirement of copywriting is "accuracy", and the method is "careful". The ancients even required that the characters written beforehand and the characters on the copybook should overlap with each other, exactly.
Before writing each stroke or word, you must observe the position, angle, and length of the stroke in advance, so that you know it well, so that you can write with ease. After finishing a word, don't be in a hurry to write the next word. First, compare the written word with the original word and compare the differences. Then write it again to make corrections, then compare and find problems, and then write it again? Repeat this many times until you have finished it. The mastery of this calligraphy is as good as writing on a copybook. Only in this way can we truly understand the calligrapher's work and achieve the effect of drawing inferences from one instance.
6. How to choose a good copybook?
A good copybook is a good teacher. On the one hand, the handwriting of a good copybook must be of a certain level. As the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are sharp. The masses have the most direct criterion for measuring the quality of calligraphy, and that is whether it is standardized and beautiful. Although everyone has different understandings and preferences about the quality of characters, the choice of most people should be the right choice. On the other hand, a good copybook should be written step by step. As the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Before studying, take a look at other people's learning results and ask others for their comments on the copybooks, so that you can know what you are doing.
7. What pen is best for practicing hard-pen calligraphy?
You can use an ordinary pen, or you can also use pencils, ballpoint pens, gel pens, etc. It doesn't really matter which pen you use. What's important is that the method of practicing calligraphy must be correct, that is, "accurate calligraphy". It is not recommended for beginners to use elbow pens, soft-tipped pens and pens that are too thick. Some friends like to use elbow pens and soft-tipped pens to write, thinking that the strokes they write are rich in variety and easy to produce effects. In fact, beginners who use elbow pens to write may easily suffer from flat and thin strokes. Moreover, you feel that there are rich changes in strokes, and there are also rich changes in other people's writing, which can only achieve the effect of self-entertainment and cannot really improve the writing level. I personally have been using 0.5mm ordinary gel pens to write my works for many years, and I don’t often use special pens, because I think using the most ordinary pens to write extraordinary characters can reflect your skills. Of course, I do not deny the effect of special pens. When writing with an elbow pen, calligraphers can write much better than ordinary people.
8. Is there any relationship between the pen holding posture and the writing quality?
There is a certain relationship between the pen holding posture and the writing quality. It is true that in life, we have seen people who hold the pen incorrectly but write beautifully. Some calligraphers use their left hand to hold the pen or even use their mouth to write well, but they can still write well. However, people who can write beautiful handwriting cannot hold the pen well. The postures are mostly standard. The correct posture of holding the pen can fully explore the flexibility of the fingers, which is conducive to better functioning of the practice. Therefore, as soon as primary school students start holding a pen to write, they must develop a correct pen-holding posture, which will promote good handwriting to a certain extent. Some senior students say that they can no longer write according to the correct posture of holding a pen. This is normal, because any change requires a process. As long as you persist for a period of time, practice makes perfect. It is much easier to change the pen-holding posture than to change the ugly calligraphy. If you can’t make up your mind to change the pen-holding posture, do you still have the determination to change the ugly calligraphy?
9. Does practicing hard-pen calligraphy need to start with strokes? ?
It is necessary to start practicing with strokes, because good calligraphy requires good strokes, just like good buildings require good stones. After you have a certain foundation of strokes, you can start practicing individual characters. Due to the small size of hard-pen calligraphy, the large amount of daily writing, and the hard nib, the focus of practicing hard-pen calligraphy and brush calligraphy are different. Hard-pen calligraphy practice requires more attention to the study of structure. For a character, as long as the structure is reasonable and beautiful, even if there are no modifications in the starting, extending, turning and ending of the strokes, the whole character will not be too bad. However, if the structure is lopsided, loose and dragging, no matter how exquisite the strokes are, it will not be able to improve the aesthetics of the entire character.
10. Will wrong stroke order affect calligraphy practice?
In daily life, we often see some friends writing the wrong stroke order, such as "long" characters with a stroke and a stroke at the end. , the second stroke of the character "火" is written as a long stroke, the second stroke of the character "忄" is written as a vertical stroke, etc. Wrong stroke order not only affects the speed of writing, but also hinders the transition from regular script to regular script. If you speed up writing according to the correct stroke order, the strokes will connect naturally and form beautiful regular script. However, if you speed up writing according to the wrong stroke order, not only will the strokes be blunt, but the resulting regular script will also be very unsightly. Of course, the stroke order of some running script is different from that of regular script. For example, the last stroke of the character "mother" is long and horizontal, the second stroke of the character "王" is vertical, etc. However, these stroke orders are all conventional and can be regarded as the correct stroke order of running script. It did not evolve from the wrong stroke order of regular script.
11. How many words is best to practice every day?
There is no fixed answer to how many words to practice every day, or how long to practice every day. Some people write every day, but their progress is slow; some people don't write for several days, but their progress is rapid. The reason is still a matter of intention.
Treat writing as a task, just finish the number of words every day. Don’t pay attention when writing. It is something you never want to write at other times. If you take a step forward and take a half step back, you will not make much progress. Although you are very busy every day, you cannot insist on writing every day. , but I am thinking about writing all the time. I will pay attention to the words on the plaque on the street, pay attention to the words on the billboard on the bus, and pay attention to the inscription when looking at a painting. I am reading every moment. How can you write bad words? Calligraphy is the most conscientious. If you put in a little effort, it will reward you with a grade. If you put in a lot of effort, it will reward you with a grade. Of course, it would be best if we are interested in practicing calligraphy and can also find time to write every day.
12. Why do I feel like I am declining as I practice?
This is a common confusion among beginners. In fact, if this happens, you should be happy, because it is not that your handwriting has deteriorated, but that your thinking has improved. After people are exposed to good calligraphy, they often make progress in their thinking very quickly and know what is good and where the beauty lies. However, the skill in hand can only be accumulated slowly over time and cannot be achieved in one step. As the gap between your mind and your hands increases, you will feel that your written words have deteriorated. I have always believed that this state of having a high eye and a low hand is the best state for practicing calligraphy, because the mind is the guiding light, and it will always guide your hands to make continuous progress. If you don’t know what good calligraphy is in mind, how can you write good calligraphy with your hands? Therefore, not only should we not be afraid of this kind of "high eyes but low hands", but we must also constantly improve our ideological understanding and always maintain this kind of "high eyes but low hands". state. Only in this way can we continue to make progress and finally reach the best state of writing, which is "clear in the heart and clear in the hand".
13. Why can I write well when I am writing a post, but cannot write well when I leave the post?
This involves an application issue. When practicing calligraphy, I follow the copybook step by step, with the copybook as a reference and the rules as writing guidance. However, when writing daily, the amount of writing is large and time is tight, so I don’t even bother to think about these writing rules, thus forming the theory and practice. The "disconnect". The reason is that the "consciousness" during calligraphy practice has not been changed into "unconsciousness", and the words under the pen have not yet reached the level of "flowing out" naturally, but are just done with concentration. Practicing calligraphy is similar to learning martial arts. The "routines" used in learning martial arts are completely different from adapting to changes in actual combat. However, the diligent practice of "routines" is the only way to achieve mastery in actual combat. Therefore, the "disconnect" between calligraphy practice and application also requires the accumulation of time and the improvement of hand skills to achieve a state of writing with ease.
14. Why can I write a single word well, but it’s hard to read a paragraph when I copy it?
If I can write a single word well, it means that the writing style and structure of the words are basically passable; but it’s hard to read a paragraph when I copy it. , indicating that the issue of rules and regulations has not yet been resolved. In layman's terms, structure studies the collocation relationship between strokes, while composition studies the collocation relationship between characters. This collocation relationship includes height, distance, size, length, density, expansion, etc. When comparing copybooks and writing, you should work hard to observe, understand and grasp this matching relationship. Wang Xizhi praised Zhang Zhi's "proficiency" in calligraphy. Through long-term practice, we must gradually evolve our "rigid matching" of Chinese characters into "natural flow".
15. Does practicing Xingkai require a foundation in regular script?
Xingkai can be regarded as a fast writing of regular script, which is the evolution and transition of regular script. This transition needs to follow certain rules. Principles, such as drawing threads to echo, retaining the shape of regular characters, simplifying the complex, and variation of stroke order, etc. The stable structure and dignified appearance of regular script are also to a large extent the key to the success of regular script. Therefore, having a certain foundation in regular script will get twice the result with half the effort when practicing regular script.
16. Can I practice the copybooks of several calligraphers at the same time?
It mainly depends on whether the styles of these calligraphers are basically unified. For example, if the calligraphy of several calligraphers is based on European calligraphy, then the rules of strokes, structure, and organization of their calligraphy are basically the same, and they can be learned at the same time; if a calligrapher has a basic knowledge of European calligraphy, , one has a foundation in Yan style calligraphy, and the other has a foundation in Wei and Jin small regular script, so it will be affected or even conflict when practicing both. However, I personally recommend not to change copybooks casually after selecting the right copybook. On the one hand, it lacks systematicity; on the other hand, changing your mind when you see different things is also a taboo in learning calligraphy. Zhao Mengfu said: "If you learn a few lines of ancient engravings and study them with concentration, you will be famous." This does not just mean choosing a good book (ancient engravings), but more importantly, you must be "specialized" and "engraved". Refined?.
17. Why do I think some ancient characters are not beautiful?
Today’s appreciation of the beauty of Chinese characters was first perceived through printed matter, and is also influenced by it in daily life. Influence. The beauty of balance, symmetry, and regularity of printed fonts affects people's understanding of the beauty of Chinese characters, resulting in similar aesthetic differences among today's people. When you think ancient calligraphy is not good-looking, it means that you have a good-looking standard in your heart. This good-looking standard is not summed up by calligraphy itself, but is perceived through printed matter. Calligraphy is the artistic treatment of Chinese characters and a rich interpretation of the beauty of Chinese characters. The characters in ancient calligraphy may be long or flat, contracted or extended, thick or thin, beautiful, strong, or simple, and are varied, which constitute the diverse beauty of calligraphy.
If you want to understand something, you can only get the three flavors by continuing to delve deeper. You can't just be a bystander and apply fixed aesthetic rules.
18. Is there any talent for writing?
Many people praise someone’s handwriting for being so good. It seems that writing requires talent. They exaggerate the role of 1% talent, but ignore the role of 99% sweat. You must be willing to give up in anything to gain something. When you are drinking tea and chatting, others are practicing calligraphy; when you are playing poker, others are practicing calligraphy; when you are playing mahjong, others are practicing calligraphy; when you are clubbing, When others are practicing calligraphy, don't just see the scenery on other people's paper, but not see the pain when they give up! Writing requires interest, but it also requires persistence. If there is truly a talent for writing, then this talent is the innate interest in writing from childhood to adulthood.
19. I am no longer young, will it still be effective if I start practicing now?
Adults have an advantage in practicing calligraphy, that is, strong understanding and self-discipline. There is also a disadvantage, that is, writing habits are fixed and difficult to change. If you want to practice calligraphy well, you definitely need to change some of your previous writing habits. The focus of change is not whether you can change it, but whether you want to change it or not. As long as you master the correct method and stick to it, you will definitely get results. Practicing calligraphy is not a free effort. If you pay, you will definitely be rewarded. The key lies in whether you have the intention to practice and whether you have the determination to change. It has nothing to do with your age.
20. How many copybooks do you need to practice to achieve results?
As the saying goes, "Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes." If you adopt the correct practice method and practice a lot, you will be able to achieve results. "A lot of practice" does not refer to the number of copybooks, but the number of words. It is the number of repeated exercises that really use your brain. So in the end it still comes down to the quality of the post. If you don't use your brain when writing the essays, it will be useless to practice hundreds of books; if you use your brain to write the essays, even one or two books will be enough.
There are hundreds of reasons why something fails. There is only one most critical reason for success in doing something, and that is to do it with your heart. The same goes for writing. Writing is a chore, and you may be worried about giving up some fun time. However, writing is an even more joyful thing, because you will reap the benefits of sacrifice and truly enjoy the fruits of your labor. The sacrifice is short-lived, but the gain will benefit you for life.
Don’t hesitate, let’s pick up the pen in our hands and practice calligraphy happily together!
