Lianzi is a Chinese word whose pinyin is liàn zì. It refers to repeatedly pondering the words and practicing writing better-looking fonts. Fonts are divided into pen characters and brush characters. Pen calligraphy and calligraphy are similar.
Generally speaking, if you practice calligraphy with calligraphy well, calligraphy with pen will look good; similarly, if you practice calligraphy with hard pen well, calligraphy with pen will also improve. But the methods of practicing pen calligraphy and brush calligraphy are different.
Specific steps
On the basis of practicing boldface characters, mastering the structure of the characters, and practicing basic skills, you can choose your favorite font for practice. The process of selecting fonts is called calligraphy selection. On the basis of calligraphy selection, there are five steps of reading, tracing, copying, memorizing and creating.
The first step is to read the post
We all know the pronunciation of the Chinese characters on the post, so there is no need to read it again. What I read is the shape, structure, and strokes of the characters, and analyze and figure out the characteristics of the strokes of the characters and the relationship between the strokes. For example: when we read the word "中" in boldface, we need to read that the vertical part of "中" passes through the middle of "口". The character "口" is slightly flat, and the horizontal length is twice the vertical length. The middle part The long vertical line is divided into two equal length segments by the lower horizontal line of the character "口", and its upper segment is divided into two equal length segments by the upper horizontal line of the Chinese character "口". This is reading glyphs and structures. Different fonts and strokes have different characteristics. The changes in hard-pen calligraphy strokes are not obvious and are not easy for middle school students to master, so I won’t go into details here.
The second step of tracing
"Tracing" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners use a blue pen to trace along the handwriting on the printed red copybook. "Copy" refers to copying, that is, covering the model characters with transparent paper and writing stroke by stroke along the shadow of the characters on the paper, which is also called copying.
The third step is to write the copybook
It means to put the copybook aside and watch the copybook write word by word on the homework paper. This method is helpful to master the writing style and meaning of the calligraphy. But it is not easy to grasp the structure of characters.
The fourth step of memorizing the copybook
refers to the method of removing the copybook based on the original copybook, recalling the glyphs on the copybook according to your own memory, and writing it on the homework paper. This is a key step in practicing calligraphy. Only by carefully scrutinizing the words you write and having a solid plan in mind can you write with spirit and accuracy. When writing, if you can see the exact shape of the Chinese characters you want to write on the white paper, and "write the characters on the paper, and the characters in your chest", and write like tracing red, writing good calligraphy will not be a problem.
The fifth step of creation
On the basis of mastering the writing method of the words on the copybook, learn by analogy to understand the writing method of the words that are not on the copybook. Writing a piece of text that has a center, content, and a self-contained system based on your own needs to express your feelings is creation. If they can write handwriting that is close to the copybook in their daily study life, the purpose of middle school students practicing calligraphy will be achieved.
When writing with a ballpoint pen, you must sit in a sitting position with your head upright, your body straight, your arms open, and your feet secure. Since the ballpoint pen writes small words, the movement of the pen tip should be in the area with the best visual effect. Generally, the right hand holds the pen, and the pen position should be slightly to the right. The eyes are about 30 cm from the paper, and the chest is about 10 cm from the edge of the table. Extend your arms naturally, with your forearms flat on the table. Press the left and right sides of the penholder with the pads of your thumb and index finger respectively. The left side of the first joint of the middle finger is against the bottom of the penholder. The ring finger and little finger are in turn close to the middle finger and naturally bent into a half-clenched fist shape, which plays a role of municipal control. The distance from the point of contact between the thumb and the pen barrel to the tip of the pen is about 4 cm. The penholder leans against the tiger's mouth, forming an angle of 45-60 degrees with the paper. The smaller the characters, the larger the angle.
If you use a pen to write, you should also pay attention to the pen tip on the outside and the pen feed on the inside, so that the middle seam of the pen tip touches the paper surface to ensure even water flow and smooth lines.
