First of all, master the correct writing method.
In ancient times, there were two ways of writing: sitting and writing with five fingers and writing with three fingers. However, in the 1970s, when Shen promoted calligraphy in China, he only promoted the five-finger calligraphy style, and the three-finger calligraphy style was on the verge of extinction. Fortunately, due to the successful practice of Lin Sanzhi and other masters, at present, 70% of calligraphers in China only use five fingers to write, including some famous old calligraphers.
Learning to write with three fingers is decisive for the center to use a pen. At present, the biggest problem in China's calligraphy inheritance is writing. The majority of calligraphy lovers should master two writing methods in time.
When children begin to learn calligraphy, they must first choose a good calligraphy teacher.
The criterion for choosing a teacher is not his qualifications, but whether he is a real expert, mainly depending on his innovative ability, extracurricular efforts, comprehensive quality, influence and personality. Finding the right teacher can get twice the result with half the effort.
Choose copybook, pen, ink and stone.
Now the publishing industry is very developed, and all the ancient inscriptions have many different versions for everyone to choose from. A street in Liulichang is full of professional bookstores such as Four Treasures of the Study's calligraphy and painting, and some of them are equipped with demo CDs.
Brushes can be divided into three categories: wool brushes, wolf brushes and double-stranded brushes. Sheep hair is soft, wolf hair is hard, and the hardness of double brushes is moderate. Beginners should choose the double brush, and the famous Huzhou Shanlian Lake Pen Series, Xuanzhou Xu Anbi Series and Jiangxi-made brushes can be selected.
You can choose the font according to the style of the book:
There are Oracle Bone Inscriptions,,, Pan,, and so on. The official script can be selected from Zhang Qianbei, Yiying Monument, Shi Chenbei, Ode to Shimen and Monument to the Good King.
Regular script can be selected from Zhang Menglong Monument, Zhang Hei Nv Monument, Jiucheng Palace Monument, Yan Monument and Chu Suiliang Regular Script.
The running script can be selected from the Preface to the Holy Teaching, the running script of Mi Fei and the running script of Wang Duo.
The cursive script can be selected from Seventeen Sticks, Shu Pu, Zhi Yong Qian Zi, Ping Fu Tie, Huai Su and Zhang Zhi Cao Shu.
For primary school students and beginners, you can practice from the following three steps:
First, practice your lines first. Draw 20 horizontal lines, 20 vertical lines and 20 round lines with a diameter of about one foot on old newspapers or papers with three fingers every day. Write slowly and hide the front of the pen. The lines are as thick and powerful as they are. It is better to penetrate the back of the paper. Just stick to 15 days. The habit of running in the center is basically developed.
Second, practice, practice 20 points with different trends for 5 minutes every day, and stick to 15 days.
To practice calligraphy, first choose 1-2 words you like from the font or calligraphy dictionary, look at the proportion, practice repeatedly, and then practice until it is exactly the same as the copybook, and then go through it from beginning to end.
Third, ask the teacher to personally demonstrate the poorly written words and carefully look at the strokes of every dot detail.
Take part in more calligraphy and painting activities and take a closer look at the brushwork of each famous artist on the spot. As long as you are interested in making up your mind, using the right method and being sincere, you will generally make small achievements after three to five years of continuous efforts.
