How does painting calligraphy in red help?

We want to learn calligraphy. On the basis of selecting posts, we have to go through five steps: reading posts, tracing posts, copying posts, memorizing posts and creating posts.

The second step of tracing the picture here refers to tracing the red, that is, beginners trace the printed red copybook with a brush along the handwriting.

People who used to practice calligraphy had to "tick" before "tracing", that is, "double hook", and then "fill in". Now the book of tracing the red gives us a "double hook", only "filling", that is, tracing the red, that is, beginners draw with a brush along the handwriting on the printed red copybook, which speeds up the learning progress.

Kang Youwei once said: "Learning a book must be imitated first, and the ancients cannot be complacent. Therefore, if you want to post, you must imitate it hundreds of times first, so that you can transfer everything before posting. " Therefore, whether you tick or draw a red shadow, it is to master the brushwork and charm of the ancients and exercise your basic skills. Therefore, when sketching, we should observe and study the characters of model calligraphy and painting, and understand the characteristics of starting, turning and receiving pens, as well as their style charm. If it is an ink book, we should also study the dry and dark changes of ink color, which is the performance of pen-ink conversion, from which we can study the beginning and end of ancient calligraphy and painting. In order to consolidate memory, we can link it, copy it in sections and repeat it. First of all, we should be familiar with and master a few brushwork, structure and charm, and then from less to more, so as to make the whole article smooth. Only through strict training can we master the brushwork, structure and brushwork of the model and form the habit of not scribbling every word. Therefore, in the beginning, instead of doodling for speed, it is better to slow down, otherwise haste makes waste. In addition, at present, learners often skip the hook-and-copy stage and enter the temporary stage. Some even seem to have no overlap soon, and the actual effect is not good. Even because of the slow progress, their interest in learning books has been ruined. Only step by step can kung fu be solid.
