First, we should choose standard, practical and favorite copybooks.
For friends who want to practice regular script without regular script foundation, attention should be paid when selecting posts: first, the font of the selected copybook should be correct and standardized, which is the minimum requirement for regular script and regular script practice. The standard mentioned here means that strokes and radicals should conform to the established writing methods, and the structure should conform to the basic principles such as stable center of gravity, echo of strokes and morphological changes. Second, the content and form of the selected copybook should be suitable for beginners. It should be systematic, be able to write exercises according to the strokes, structural characteristics and laws of Chinese characters, and be easy to accept from shallow to deep; It should be illustrated with pictures and texts, with writing instructions and illustrations to facilitate understanding and practice; Only by having a unique scientific practice method can we avoid detours and get quick results. Third, you should like the writing style of the selected copybook. The same high-level copybooks may have different styles. Because everyone's cultural quality and artistic accomplishment are different, the criteria for evaluating and liking calligraphy art are also different. So you should choose your favorite high-level copybook as a copy model according to your own characteristics. Only when you can't let go will you "copy with your heart."
Second, we should pay attention to the consistency and variability of job selection.
The consistency of job selection is aimed at beginners, and the variability is aimed at people with a certain writing level. In fact, it is the embodiment of the requirement of "being single-minded before learning" in the post. For beginners, the specificity of posting is mainly manifested in carefully preparing a regular script copybook, and at the same time, you can choose a regular script copybook with a style close to regular script to practice (preferably a copybook written by the same person). In this way, copying exercises are easy to connect, posting is fast and the effect is good. For those who have a certain foundation of regular script and running script, they should basically master the style of one copybook and then copy it with another style. Through repeated copying training, I learned from the strengths of various schools and gradually formed my own writing style. This requires that the selection of posts should pay attention to diversity and variability, and is not limited by one family and one law.
Third, about the "grade" of the post.
Most calligraphers have always advocated that people who study books should choose high-grade copybooks to copy. Practice has proved that only by copying high-grade copybooks can we practice high-level calligraphy. But for novice writing, we should treat it according to the specific situation. If they blindly pursue high quality according to their actual level, it is not only difficult to understand its mystery, but also difficult to master it. After a long time, they will lose confidence. Therefore, it is necessary to find your own position objectively. Beginners must start with the basics and rules, seek justice first, and then learn distribution; When posting, first seek similarity, lay a solid foundation, gain a firm foothold, and then pursue similarity and danger step by step. Even people who have a certain writing level should pay attention to choosing copybooks suitable for their current level to copy.
