I have been practicing calligraphy every day for almost a week, and I still feel that I have gained a lot.
My own handwriting can be described as "chicken chop shit". Because my handwriting is not good-looking, my Chinese language teacher in high school asked me to go to the office for several rounds of education: "Such a pretty girl, her grades are so bad Very good, but why are the words so ugly?”
I am also a mute who eats Coptis chinensis. The first three lines of an article always look good, but at the end it starts to scrawl. I don’t know why I am so impatient with writing.
After I went to college, I used computers to complete my homework. After entering social work, I found that I could no longer write many words.
Take advantage of this long free time to sit down and practice calligraphy to make up for the regrets of the past. After all, my handwriting has been teased by others more than three or four times. Sure enough, it makes sense to "see words like people". It seems that I need to change myself.
After I bought the copybook from Shangmoubao, I started to persevere every day. Follow the explanation step by step and write stroke by stroke. It is stipulated that it should be at least half an hour to an hour every day. If the time is too short, it will not be effective. If the time is too long, you will be tired. A week passed in the blink of an eye, and I gained a lot of insights from practicing calligraphy.
First, you need to be relaxed and relaxed when practicing calligraphy. If the characters are square and square, it looks good, but if an article is square and brick-like, others will think you are a primary school student. The reason why the words on the copybooks are so beautiful is because they have emphasized strokes, which are divided into deep and shallow, progressive and flowing. Just like being a human being, serious and honest people are often not popular in society, while people who are smart and smooth will always be prosperous.
Second, you need to be patient when practicing calligraphy. How many years and months will it take to complete such a thick copybook? Even if you finish practicing, will it definitely be useful? If you care so much about the results, you might as well enjoy the process. When you write stroke after stroke, when you study why this stroke chooses this stroke and angle, when you think about why this structure makes the words look better, in fact, what you gain is better than the final result. Results are more important.
The results of calligraphy practice cannot be seen overnight. Otherwise, why would those outstanding calligraphers still practice calligraphy tirelessly with gray hair?
Practicing calligraphy is not static. After imitating the calligraphy of excellent calligraphers, you will gain new insights and you will have your own more unique calligraphy.
By then, you will be your own great calligrapher.
