Some people's words are "messy"; Some people have experienced the process of slowly practicing calligraphy from "crawling dog font" to "great god font"; Some people practice learning to write calligraphy fonts because of self-cultivation and hobbies. Everyone writes. What's the difference between the three?

write
Writing, as the name implies, is writing words. This word can be Chinese characters or other words, as long as it is a word, it is included. So specifically, it includes writing Chinese characters, writing English, writing Japanese and so on, and the scope is very large.
Moreover, this kind of writing state is also very extensive, which can be taking notes every day, keeping a diary, or writing seriously. So the concept of writing is the broadest of these three words.
But what we usually call writing is actually different from the state of practicing calligraphy and calligraphy creation, that is, daily writing, with the purpose of recording and the focus on the content of writing. This state is actually the writing state that everyone wants to improve in the early stage of practicing calligraphy.

Practice brushing/writing Chinese characters
The purpose of daily writing is to record, and the purpose of practicing calligraphy is undoubtedly to practice calligraphy and make it look better. This is the biggest difference between the two.
We will improve our writing skills through repetition, revision and adjustment. Even when we are writing, sometimes we can't recognize words, because we pay more attention to how to write well, and what we write is not that important.
Speaking of which, a very common topic will be vividly portrayed:
1. Why do I write well when I practice calligraphy, but my usual writing style has not changed, and my writing is still a mess?
This problem has actually become very clear here, because practicing calligraphy and writing are two different States, and the natural results are different.
When writing, everyone's sitting posture, pen holding posture, pen and paper are in place, and then they concentrate on writing seriously, even slowly. When writing at ordinary times, everyone's attention will hardly focus on how to write good-looking, and even the right or wrong of words are written through muscle memory. The difference between the two States is so great that it is normal to write differently.
2. So how can we ensure that our daily writing reaches the level of practicing calligraphy?
The core of the problem is that you have to find a way to write the words well. If you can write well, it is obviously irrational to expect to develop the so-called muscle memory. The structure of a word is determined by its rules. Only by mastering certain rules and skills can you write beautiful words.
In other words, before you write a beautiful word, you must have at least one image of the word in your mind. Otherwise, by muscle memory, I don't even know what the word length looks like, and my hand has already been written.
In fact, in the final analysis, most people don't like to think and use their brains. They just want to solve the writing problem through a lot of repetition. That's why the groove copybook came into being. You don't even need to read it. Just move the pen in the groove and write with your eyes closed for a few years, and the words will be written. This is very unscientific.

calligraphy
Calligraphy is a traditional culture in China, just like you can't call it Peking Opera by shouting a few words casually, and you can't call it calligraphy by writing casually. The narrow definition of calligraphy is works of artistic value created by calligraphers and practical brushes who have studied and trained in calligraphy. There are several definitions that need to be clarified:
? It needs a calligrapher who has accumulated learning and skills training to write.
? Chinese characters must be the carrier.
? Use a brush as a tool.
? Must have artistic value.
Then obviously, within the scope of writing, what meets the above conditions is called calligraphy.

The relationship between the three
The relationship between calligraphy and calligraphy is not inclusive. Writing practice is a special writing state, which can be used for both writing and writing.
The creative process of calligraphy emphasizes the word "creation". Practicing calligraphy is a process from scratch, accumulating and improving constantly. Calligraphy creation and daily writing are not only a process of use, but also a process of showing one's skills and talents.
So to sum up briefly, a person has writing skills by practicing calligraphy, and then begins to apply it to daily writing or calligraphy creation.
Through the above analysis, everyone should have a clear understanding of writing, calligraphy practice and calligraphy creation. In short, writing and calligraphy creation are both purposes, and it is for this purpose that we choose to learn and train through the process of practicing calligraphy. When we know whether our purpose is writing or calligraphy creation, how to practice calligraphy will be clear at a glance.
