Persisting in practice is the fastest way to make words look good. If you don't write often, you will regress.
Isn't that stupid? How long does it take, how to use it, and what dry goods skills are there. Writing is muscle memory. Normal writing, whether it is a brush or a hard pen, will basically not exceed 1 minute.
When writing Tang Kai with strokes, you can think about the structure of Chinese characters while writing. If it's cursive, think while writing and keep thinking, so the running script and cursive will not be very good.
The world admires Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion. According to legend, Wang Xizhi was drunk and wrote it.
Wang Xizhi is a little drunk. Writing Preface to Lanting relies entirely on "feeling", which is not so magical, and muscles have memories. In short, Wang Xizhi practiced a lot of calligraphy.
To write well, you must first have psychological construction: you need to practice hard in a planned way to write well. With this psychological preparation, we can speak better.
Then talk about the method. Brush and hard pen have similarities and differences. We mainly use writing brushes.
Calligraphy generally has three aspects: strokes, word formation and composition.
First of all, the quality of basic strokes can only be written well through a lot of practice. The strokes are well written, but the words are not necessarily beautiful. But you must practice the basic mural first.
The picture above shows the basic strokes of Chinese characters in Tian Yingzhang's regular script. Many people think that it is wrong for Tian Yingzhang to kneel and hit the front when he writes a "tick". It is more important for us to learn calligraphy and learn from each other.
Secondly: the structure of words, how to knot words.
There are all kinds of books: for example, the thirty-six rules of Ou Yangxun's regular script structure and the ninety-two rules of Huang Ziyuan's frame structure.
Understand the structure of words thoroughly, strokes can be written badly, and words will not be particularly ugly.
Mr. Qi Gong's words are that stroke processing is sometimes not meticulous, but his structure is excellent, which combines the strengths of many scholars. These books, such as Ou Yangxun's Method 36 of Regular Script Structure and Huang Ziyuan's Method 92 of Frame Structure, all have general principles of word structure, but they need a lot of practice to memorize and digest.
Finally: composition. It is not easy to do the first two well, and most beginners don't need to write.
In our contemporary society, the pace of life is relatively fast, and people need to see progress and changes quickly. Calligraphy, which is written in black and white, colorful and requires a lot of time to practice, is really not liked by so many people.
The most important thing for us to learn calligraphy today is to adjust our mentality, because many people think that good handwriting is a good thing, but good handwriting is not very important. If you need to spend a lot of time, energy and money to practice your handwriting well, it is even less worthwhile to "invest". This is a social reality.
Come on, people who like calligraphy, and those who insist on practicing and learning calligraphy.
