How to write good calligraphy

-------Some experience of hard-pen regular script

Li Zhiwen

Write good calligraphy , which can benefit you for life. The phenomenon of Chinese people not being able to write Chinese characters well has become a serious social problem and has also aroused the concern and worry of many knowledgeable people. Moreover, parents of students whose bad handwriting seriously affects their grades in higher education are worried. Being unable to write well at work brings me depression and trouble. Some people think this way, now that we use computers to type, do we still need to write by hand? This idea is extremely wrong. So how to write good calligraphy, the author will talk about his feelings on this, for reference only.

1. To write well, you must first learn the most basic knowledge

1. Training of basic strokes. There are eight basic strokes in Chinese characters. These eight basic strokes are very important in Chinese characters. They are the excellent cornerstones of every high-rise building. "If the foundation is not good, it will cause great disaster"! There is a correct way to write each basic stroke. Including how to start, write, and finish, speed, strength, and shape changes. Please do not write that the brushstrokes, speed, and strength of each basic stroke are the same.

2. Strengthening of radicals. I heard many classmates and teachers say this: The reason why I can’t write well is because the radicals in the characters are not well written. Even I don’t like it when I read it, but I can’t find the correct way to write it. I'm worried. Yes, this is also a very important question. I suggest: first of all, if you want to write a radical well, you must know the stroke order and strokes of each radical (that is to say, the order of strokes of this radical from first to last and how many other strokes Composed of) Secondly, pay attention to the writing method or pattern of each radical. There are 88 basic radicals, but no matter which Chinese character they are used in, the writing method or mode of most of them remains the same. For example: when writing "three points of water", the upper two points and the lower point should not be written on a vertical line, but in the form of a triangular composition. The second point should be slightly to the left, so that it can appear charming. Not dull. For example: "Jiang, Qing" and other characters with three dots of water should be removed like this. Another example: when writing "beside the left ear and beside the right ear", you must first understand that they are composed of three strokes, and the first stroke should be wider and shorter than the second stroke, and the last stroke should be written vertically (this vertical stroke is written as hanging needle) Both vertical and hanging can be used). Another example is when writing "by the word "月", the two dashes inside cannot go over or under, and they are connected on the left and broken on the right. Otherwise, it will look ugly. There are many ways to write radicals, which cannot be listed here because they contain a lot of content.

3. The organization and arrangement of the structure (also called knot or structure). The key to the beauty or ugliness of a word lies in the arrangement of the structure, including the symmetry, whitening, interspersing and avoidance of the structure, etc. . There are single characters in Chinese characters, upper and lower structures, upper middle and lower structures, left and right structures, left middle and right structures, fully enclosed and semi enclosed structures, etc. No matter which word you write, it must be carefully arranged and arranged. "The intention comes first"? For example, a person walking on the street has a very big head, a very small body, one ear is very big, and the other is very small, the eyes are no longer in a straight line, and the nose is much larger than the mouth. You must be surprised to see her, why? It is because of his imbalanced growth ratio that he looks particularly ugly.

This is the same as writing. Well, some people feel bad about themselves after writing a certain character, then you should find out the reason for the badness, whether it is the shortcomings of the strokes, the mistakes in the radicals, or the structural inconsistency. Only if you find out the reasons, you can Write the same word and correct the flaws just now, and you will smile with satisfaction.

2. To write well, you need the guidance of professional calligraphy teachers

As the saying goes: "You can't work behind closed doors, you should go out." This sentence means that no matter what you learn, you must You need the guidance of professional teachers. Don't just look for teachers, as that will lead you into misunderstandings. To be honest, learning to write (calligraphy) is a boring subject that requires meditation, patience and care, as well as perseverance and perseverance in learning. Coupled with the teacher's guidance, your writing ability and level will gradually improve.

3. Copy multiple posts, copy posts, read posts

On the premise of mastering the basic strokes and radicals, in order to make the structure of the characters more rigorous and perfect, you should go through copying Posting, copying posts, and reading posts are the three only ways, and they need to be done repeatedly.

Copying: covering a piece of tissue paper on the copybook and copying it repeatedly according to the shape of the calligraphy. This way you can master the basic strokes, radicals and structure of the calligraphy. Prompt calligraphy: Put the copybook aside and write according to the words on the calligraphy. This can exercise the writing style and charm and make your writing appear vigorous and majestic. Reading posts: Reading posts is also about pondering the characters to be studied in order to understand the strokes, structure, charm, etc. of the characters. Some students who learn calligraphy often ignore the link of reading the calligraphy. Before writing, they always glance at the words to be written in the calligraphy and write as soon as they pick up the pen. They do not understand the words at all and cannot achieve the purpose of writing. , that can only be counted as copying.

1. Determine the amount of writing. Determine the amount of writing according to your own situation, make a general overview of the writing, and have a general understanding.

2. Think carefully. Every time you write a word, remember the shape and position of the strokes so that you know it well.

3. Repeat writing. Some students only practice the words they want to learn once, and no matter what the effect is, they are not willing to practice the words a second time. This is wrong. You have to write repeatedly to succeed. Every time you read a post before writing, you should deepen your theoretical understanding. You should focus on remembering the areas where you were unsuccessful in writing the previous time. Only by repeatedly reading the post and practicing it can the words in the post be engraved in your mind. .

4. In addition, we need to find some high-quality copybooks and write them repeatedly. Do not just pick up a copybook and write it, and then change it the next day. If you continue like this, you will have no success. beneficial.

4. Comprehensive understanding, success will come naturally

“Everything is inseparable from it”. It is not necessary to write all Chinese characters. As long as you master the writing method of most Chinese characters, you can write the remaining ones. The words I have written are as easy as a piece of cake. Some calligraphers and masters in ancient and modern times have studied hard and diligently. Starting from the most basic knowledge of writing, making connections, comprehending and improving, they can become calligraphers admired by many people. As long as we work hard, we can also It will succeed
